I have been looking at this site for the last few months and figured it would be a good idea to sign up and try to learn something. I am close to buying an AR-15 and was wondering about pricing/headaches involved in building one. I have looked over other sites and all their advice, but it seems like I wouldn't save all that much as opposed to just buying a complete rifle from a local store. So if any of you have first hand knowledge or know some obscure sites with great deals, it would help me out in making a decision.
A second project I am tinkering with is modernizing a 91/30. I removed the Nagant's rear sight (the whole thing down to the rail underneath) and believe it or not, the rail is at a slight angle to the barrel. I have mounted a scope to the rail and i basically have to crank it all the way tot he right to get it lined up with a bore sight laser. This really doesn't work all that well since it will be off as the range changes. So do any of you have any suggestions for attaching a scope with this flaw on the gun? Should I just weld a new rail on top of it? It is possible to design a cheap shim to straighten the scope?
If either of those two subjects interest you then please share your knowledge and experiences with me.
Thanks.
