A gas ring can foul function. Deep tool marks on the carrier where contact is with the cam pin. Flawed bolt tail? Firing pin fouled? Binding hammer function?
As you suggest, believing anyone selling something at a gun show is like believing someone selling something at a carnival. Its foolish. Do it, the 243 I mean. So what if barrel life is less than inferior performing cartridges. That's why. 243 outperforms them. No free lunch. Ever. Tires...
For $65.00 Bill Springfield in Colorado Springs will fix your stock trigger to about 2.5 clean. Guns and gear are not controversial. Ego is. Ego seeks to be right. "My trigger is better than your trigger….". Take advice from experience like Sterling Shooter for example. The rest might...

Pick up a vintage 1970's Weaver K-4 for about $50 or less. Use until the finish is worn on the rig. Upgrade optic with a graduated vertical reticle and be done.

How do I find out which are the better parts to use for my build? Asking those with more experience is one excellent way, but how do I find experienced shooters and smiths? Unless the experience of the opinionated one is obvious, research is one way to find experience and information. You are...
