In a way, you guys are confirming what I am finding out. There are a LOT of smiths who can put together ARs. I truly get some of the simplicity some of you refer to, as I have done it myself on a few. In this case, my friend wants pretty unique parts and such. Long story short, I am just surprised there are not a few smiths cherised by 24HCF members for ARs on this site, like there are for bolt guns that can handle all or most request in their shop on a customer supplied action. No worries, you were more helpful than you might realize.
