[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 963254, member: 24284"] With the number of rifles in your 'plan', by the time you tool up, pay ATFE, pay the State Dept. ITAR registration fees, and pay for liability insurance you're already way in the RED. So, I hope 'profit' isn't expected. I think you'd better do some more research, too. There's lots of those "small calibers" that generate as much chamber pressure as the 'bigger' rounds. JE is right, it ain't rocket science. But there's pleanty to know and understand and pleanty of skills to be developed before "building rifles". "Hobby" away if you want, but your 'plan', as stated, won't fly. If you need to "practice on bar stock", consider this as you have limited experience,,, your competition has 10, 20, 30 and some 40 years of experience machining and some have bothered to get formal education, as in two year gunsmithing programs (not "mail order"). I'm not trying to discourage you, but things are NOT as simple as they once were. [/QUOTE]
