[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 2700543, member: 37460"] Actually, assembling a bolt gun with a high quality prefit barrel is easier than a AR. Putting a trigger in a bolt gun is easier than a AR milspec and assembling a lower and upper from scratch is much more difficult. Why do you think Krieger, Proof, Shilen, and so many other barrel makers now offer high quality prefits. It’s because the average guy can now quite simply headspace a barrel very easily in a small home shop. Can there be some learning experiences and challenges along the way, absolutely there can. Bedding was the only real challenge I ran into. I’ve done 4 now. All shoot sub 1/2 MOA. [/QUOTE]
