    What rifles can be built entirely from scratch?

    Can anyone give me the names of any rifles (or even handguns) that can be built entirely from aftermarket parts? As I understand it, the 10/22 is one such rifle, but are there more?

    New CZ 452 American - pics inside!

    Hi all - here are some pics of my new CZ 452 American. Very happy with the rifle, with the exception that I had to change the scope from a cheaper Tasco to the Leupold VX-I I have on there now, because the bolt wouldn't clear the scope! Anyway, great rifle, fantastic value for money!

    Please explain an "Appleseed" to a non-American

    G'day from Downunder, mates! :) I've been reading a lot about these "Appleseed shoots" - can someone please explain these to me? As in, what is the format of the shoot? Are they an individual or team-based experience? How is it scored? What type of firearms are used? Cheers.

    Anyone own an Anschutz 1416 model .22 rifle?
