Yes, I probably will build one.  Much cheaper but I am no expert and that scares me.

Scares you? Wait until you start looking at the price of some parts. $200 to $2000 price difference on just the uppers. Yep, you have to do your homework. There is just a ton of things to read and parts out there. Then there is cerakoted parts. Now you have to pick colors. LOL

But your 243 is not a semi automatic. Stay on topic.

Wahhhh!  The Goose is crying because he didn't get his own way. ;D ;D ;D

Here is a link a friend sent me that looks like a pretty sweet deal.  Just add a lower blank.

Well, we will get our chance at using semi rifles.
Brother and I shared a .22, Ivar Johnson, single shot before our legal hunting age.
I learn to hunt Rabbits with a single barrel, Stevens .410.

I predator hunted with a semi Shotguns for many of my early years.
I didn't like the semi shotgun because it took to long to unload back at the truck. Many times I drove to next stop with loaded gun in my truck, just to save me time. I was young, covering alot of ground and trying to save time between stops. I was making money and time was money.
I didn't like braking the law or unloading the semi shotgun, so I went to a pump action shotgun.
I was concerned on shooting multiple Fox with a pump, but found that wasn't a problem. I sold the semi shotguns.

So we can hunt with semi rifles. I may take the semi on a Coyote or Groundhog hunt or two next season. Am use to bolt action and will mainly stick with that.
