Anybody besides Me ever been so exited about the prospect of building a new rifle that they can't sleep at night?

Here I am, 47 years old, & I'm staying up at night reading every thing there is to read about gas guns. Just like Ralphie in a Christmas Story. Damn...I really aught to get some sleep.

Later. Mac
 
Re: Can't stand the anticipation

Yes and I have one problem with building guns. If I can't do it myself, I won't do it. I hate gunsmiths... I can't figure out why none of them have any business sense at all. It's almost like they have the mind of an artist and have no idea of time constraints or customer needs. Bunch of freaks. So I've amassed all the tools I need to assemble any AR I would ever want but I'm kind of stuck there. I don't have the knowledge to do anything custom or with bolt guns. But I refuse to live under the control of a ruthless dictator gunsmith that wants to take a year to build a gun. Freaks! Okay, maybe I'm a freak too...

This has been the story of my life for the last month. I'm chasing after the "perfect" AR 15.
 
Re: Can't stand the anticipation

I think, after reading what George Gardner has written about the 6mm Creedmore, that I'm leaning heavily towards that caliber. Barrel wear was a concern, but hell, if a barrel wears out, just replace it.
