10/22 build

Clearly I need a 10/22 ('cause I don't have one), but I'd rather build that buy, knowing that buying all the parts will cost more than buying a basic 10/22 and customizing it.

Having said that has anyone had experience building from a bare receiver and can recommend a brand?

Has anyone built from an 80% blank?

So far the cheapest new 10/22 I see is $197 at Academy:

Walmart probably has them cheaper than Academy, but hit up a gun show and find an older steel model for around $200 or so.

Barrels - find an OE on ebay (along with lots of stock parts) for pretty cheap.

For a while AGP arms was selling the OE threaded barrel for $69.

Lots of companies make aftermarket barrels, from $100 or so, up to several hundred.

Head over to rimfirecentral.com for a ton of info, builds, and options.
