I’ve also done a bunch of builds since I’ve retired. A M1a using a Ruger mini 30 action, remilitarized 2 ’03 Springfields, built a Marlin 1894 and a repro 1873 into Trappers, a cut up Krag into a scout, a pair of Model 12’s into a trenchgun and a riot gun and the one I'm doing now, a Ruger mini 300blkout into a garand. This one has been a real chore which frustrates me so I walk away and work on an easier build and then return.
