[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 1837004, member: 112192"] I share your dream Quade, unfortunately like you it's not in the cards for me to go through formal schooling or buy expensive machinery at this time. I've built many AR's from stripped receivers and enjoy doing that very much, but I'm honest enough to understand that puts me nowhere near the realm of a gunsmith, as stated above it just means I can assemble parts. Now that we've established that I'm an "assembler" level gun enthusiast, I still think you can really enjoy putting your own rifle together and I'm in the process of doing that with my first bolt action gun right now. Just received my action and trigger, next part will be an XLR chassis here in another month or 2, then a proof barrel that I will send off to a smith for finishing. I'll assemble it all when ready and imagine I'll enjoy the process as much as I enjoy "building" AR's and someday, maybe, I can start to dabble in true gunsmithing. [/QUOTE]
