Cool stuff! Yes, I do have enough important stuff to do but, I've started
to become fascinated with the "Black Rifle" build. Just another bottomless
pit potential? Another hobby run amok? I STILL want one! I have
absolutely no need for one but that never stopped me before. I'll bet there
is a wealth of imperial knowledge here in addition to the vast info on the
web. I have a couple of Ruger 5.56s so I'm familiar with the loads, have
the dies and such and it's cheap to feed and ranges are more accessible than
higher power rounds. Buying a finished rifle doesn't interest me unless it
was almost a gift. I want to make chips...but not too many.

There are billions of variables ranging from plinkers to match. I'm leaning
to the plinker knowing it will be more accurate than I am. Lowers are
available in every form from raw forgings or billets to 80% to finished. The
rest is bolt on fluff. (for now) Anybody have a box-o-parts or abandoned
projects? I'll keep reading but there is almost "too much" and those people
are fanatics, it's hard to filter.

Did you read my email to you on that subject several days ago?
