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?

The assembly isn't difficult, machining the parts would be. I think you could make your own 1911 pretty easily.

Machining =/= Assembling

You are absolutely correct in that machining the parts requires access to mostly capital equipment and a specialized technical skill set that very few possess

What are some of the other benefits of building a gun like this besides a sense of accomplishment? No backround checks? Harder to trace?

Serialized lowers and barreled actions exist for those who would rather not bother educating themselves on the nuances of legality and enforcement.

Federalism exists and some states are freer than others in this distinct regard.

If you are mechanically inclined, have the means and are able to purchase the required items in the place in which you live, I suggest you try your hand
