Hey folks, so I've been itching for a new project, and I think I want to build a 10/22 from scratch. From what I can tell, it's not particularly difficult, just getting all the parts will probably take the longest.
Has anyone here built one with a stripped receiver from the ground up, or would I be better off buying a stock carbine and just replacing parts? I haven't noticed any stripped 10/22 receivers at United or anything, so I imagine I'd have to order one and have it shipped in, but then there's transfer fees, all that. Seems like buying a stock carbine would be less expensive, but I'll end up with some spare parts that'll never get used. Any wisdom imparted would be most appreciated!
