    Mrs. Rolf thinks that I should take a small vacation to do a class like this.

    You build one up from a bare receiver. A friend of mine went last year, the pictures he took were amazing. You end up with the equivalent to a CMP Special Grade rifle.

    That Vickers class looks neat, too.

    I misunderstood. I think that the 'Maintenance' in the title tossed me for a loop.

    I think something like that would almost be more enjoyable. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

    Rob- Would your friend recommend the class, and was he happy with what he assembled?

    He was very happy. He was a Garand novice before going. Shoots service rifle, even goes to the national matches. So he wanted a high numbered receiver and new barrel. He got a 5.9mil, but there were some 5 digit receivers. And everyone gets a new criterion barrel.
