Me, I’ve taken no offense, this has been a good conversation,
But,
I disagree that you can put together a build with new parts for 1500, especially when you are talking about a new barrel and smith services.
Find me a smith who will do completes for 1500/1600, I’ll have the check in the mail by this Saturday.
And no, I don’t consider a CA a ‘custom”.
Like I said earlier, the Custom that I would like, 6,000 dollars before optics.
