Well since I am going to be in California for at the very least the next 5 years doing my dissertation, I have decided that I am going to get an M14 style rifle, the only problem is that I do not think I can front over $1000 to spend on a rifle at one time. So I am thinking about getting an M14 receiver right now and slowly acquiring the parts as funds become available, and then finally having the rifle built exactly to my specifications. I realize that the total cost will be greater than just buying the rifle outright, but this way I can spread the cost out and have a rifle built with mostly USGI parts. I have several questions for you all then.
1.) What receiver would you recommend and how much do they usually go for?
I was thinking about getting an Armscorp receiver since they seem to be the most economically priced while retaining quality.
2.) Who is a good M14 smith that can assemble an M14 style rifle, and how much does assembly usually go for? In addition, what is the turn around time usually?
3.) Anything else I should know before I start this project?
Thank you for your time.
