A sum of its parts

Crafting a rifle from a bin of parts is an enjoyable past time that I recommend because it is not difficult, but it does require some moderate effort and mindfulness on the part of the craftsman.

Everything has a set of tolerance ranges that is important to abide when constructing but ultimately, for not a lot of technical difficulty, a bespoke rifle can be crafted to your exact desires.

“What’s in a name?”

I suppose it is appropriate for one to consider manufacturer’s efforts and purchase a fully-built, turnkey, rack grade rifle but whatever I call mine I’d be lying if I wasn’t a bit prideful in the end result and for that reason, I build — and because I can.

My rifle fucks, and is a reflection of the man who built it. I wish that for yours too, because what does it say of a man whose rifle is impotent and broken?
