Building is not cheaper than buying. It also doesn't make economic sense to bend your own receiver flats if you are only going to build one or two rifles. The cost for tools to make a receiver will be far more than buying a receiver from Nodak Spud.

You will also have to throw out perfectly good foreign made kit parts and replace them with U.S. made parts to comply with the 922r law. The receivers and barrels have been banned from import so you will have to buy those also and the receiver will have to go through a FFL transfer. Then there is the cost of tools and materials for building.

You will also need to know about head spacing the barrel and bolt. If you don't understand head spacing you could have a big surprise coming and a trip to the hospital E.R. in your future.
