[QUOTE="Colt45_13, post: 1542924, member: 108516"] Slick8, I apologize, at this point I am a pretty dumb gunsmith (to put it lightly). Would you please elaborate on why you think I should stay away from a factory DM? Not doubting you, just want to understand. With regards to your questions about the project. My plan is for this project is for it go develop in stages. Stage 1: Procure donor rifle, have custom barrel build for my dummy rounds, install barrel, ensure gun cycles and generally functions, work up a load. Stage 2: Next capital investment trigger upgrade. At that point I will likely message you and essentially do verbatim what you said. If you say that trigger setup is good, I am sold. Stage 3: If I am liking the rifle and feel like it is worth more investment add: Stock, bottom metal, barrel/receiver coatings, stock dip, recoil reducer, ect. Long story short, I am mostly focused on Stage 1 at the moment. Build a somewhat custom rifle that functions and shoots. I would not argue with any of you that say I am wrong on my thoughts here, I just do not have thousands to spend on this project at the moment; attempting to see how good of a rifle I can build for $800-$1000 (not including optics). Thanks Everyone, CTL God Bless America. God Bless the 2nd Amendment. God Bless those that protect both! [/QUOTE]
