I"ve loved just buying a bag of parts since the 80s and putting em together from the ground up. Its fun for sure.

The snap together ease makes it work for all too.

but assembly from individual parts, with a barrel chambered and ready to go is so fun and so easy.


Couldn't agree more. I always said if I got a stinker upper with a barrel that wouldn't shoot I'd just swap it to one of higher quality. So far I have been decently lucky with barrels but I don't have the same standards as fella shooting matches for money or trophies.

Thats the problem BSA has with me I think.

He thinks you have to have a .25 moa 10 plus shot gun period.

Its really not needed for most of what most do.

Don't get me wrong, I like the best I can get. OTOH if I can save money and its good enough for most work, whats the point of the extra cost?

Of course when we shot nationals, not just playing around at club matches shooting various things, nationals we spent money and tried for the best. The rule of thumb was at least 1.5 inch group 10 shots at 300 yards. But the requirements and what was on the line was totally different.

You will enjoy and keep enjoying. !!!

I got a wild hair today and was gonna order criterion CORE 18” barrel and replace one of my other 16” barrels. Then figured that there was nothing wrong with any of my 16” uppers so I started ordering parts to build a new upper.

Trust me, the LaRue deal is cheap and I’m sure it’ll shoot.

Ha. They’re pretty addictive.

I had an impulse grab the other day. PSA had 7.62 18” blems. The whole darned rifle was around 800. I couldnt have built one of my own for too much less and I figured who doesn’t need an 18” 7.62 in their house.

Agreed, MBTs have become my go to’s.

Rost, agreed buddy, if I can hover around that 1 MOA mark with 5-10 rounds or maybe a bit more I don’t complain. I have more fun shooting them then tinkering with those brass shuckers!

To be honest 2moa was much more the average of most deer rifles years ago and at average ranges no one complained. 2 MOA doesn't make me happy but its really workable.

Shot my Garand I'll use as my guide gun this fall for moose clients. it was right at 2 inches at 100... not really happy but its MORE than good enough for what we need to do.

For sure. I don't mine a 2 MOA lever gun or even an old battle rifle like your Garand.

Shoot, I'd bet alot of folks are still hunting with 2 MOA rifles these days and don't care much either. We're the weird guys who demand and expect more.
