Gunsmithing (no politics)
GarandMarine:
I'd say save up for the custom build instead of selling the Johnson to finance it. You can ALWAYS get a battle rifle to your specs, rare arms that you will 100% never see again? Not so much.

Phrasing
Noxx:
Got a mess of Polymer 80% lowers in today, Planning on getting most of them milled out this week if it's not too hot in the garage. My biggest concern at the moment is sourcing lower parts kits that are inexpensive, but still contain a halfway decent trigger. I've never built "on the cheap" before, so I don't have any personal experience with units from places like Palmetto and DPMS
GarandMarine:
I use a Palmetto lower parts kit on my AR and it's fantastic. I'd personally recommend them. Trigger is comparable to the ones I used in the service, so they aren't the best, but they'll do work for you.
Don't buy ANYTHING from DPMS if you can avoid it. I like Russian/Eastern Block guns so I appreciate a cheap weapon, but DPMS is a little too cheap for me if you get my meaning.
In other news I'm in the process of picking up a Mosin Nagant M91/30 from those fine people over at Cabela's. She's a 1941 issue Soviet rifle and is 100% matching.
Noxx:
Thanks for the feedback GM. I've got a closet full of Mosins, I love anything in 54R.
Make sure you cook out all the dead Cosmo, check pin protusion, and pull the bolt apart for cleaning before you take her out. I've seen out of battery kabooms more than once from damaged / stuck firing pins. Buddy of mine has a hell of a scar.
