[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1270790, member: 4566"] Great answer and thanks for the honesty. That is something I hadn't considered. My main issue with gunsmiths is that many are terrible at time management or are just plain swamped. If I had a great smith in my pocket I would see that as a viable option. This is like buying at Cabelas or Bass Pro or Walmart I hate not supporting my LGS and will pay more to do it, if we don't.....THEY WILL BE GONE.....and then where are we? Academy Sports telling me about his buddies SNIPER 6.8SPC that will kill a deer at a mile and shoots under .001 at 100 yds. I'm a DIY guy in just about everything I do, I will always hit a local store and spend my $$$ versus buying online, but I like being able to do my own work. The sense of pride it gives me, ability to fix something if it breaks and OPTIONS. I also don't like waiting. My wait for a build is 100% dependent on ME. If my gun already has a barrel on it, and I order a new barrel, my gun stays operational until my new barrel arrives, then its down for about 5 minutes as I switch. I also like that. You are right though, if WE don't support gunsmiths............there wont be any and I don't think anyone wants that. Another thing to think about though is that barrel nuts MAKE A LOT OF GUNSMITHS. This can do nothing but strengthen the 2nd amendment, also any barrel that I buy, was worked on by a gunsmith, he didn't screw the whole gun together but he certainly chambered it. Anyone can screw together a barrel nut rig, I like that, I am sure HRC doesn't. Great answer though Mudrunner, I will have to keep that in mind next time I tackle a DIY project that would probably be best left on the plate of a smith anyway. [/QUOTE]
