never built a gun from parts

[scooterman27006]

yea im full of questions tonight - i have never nor have i even read about building a gun with parts that you buy seperate - but if a fella with no gunsmithing experience can do it well the idea appeals to me - i guess caliber is where i would have my first problem- i shoot in my back yard and at most 125 yrds and like to shoot crows and targets so i feel like maybe a 17 might fit what im looking for and i love the no recoil part and they are not as loud as some and that is even better - now if you fellas know of a 22 that can consistently keep everything in a dime at about a 100 yrds i want to hear about it but since i feel like its gonna take at least a 17 the can someoen suggest to me or tell me how you could order a barrel and a receiver and stock and make this happen - am i off my rocker or can it be done and if so make some suggestions as far s parts- i know this will probably cost more than just buying a gun but if i buy piece at a time maybe i wont notice it as much- anyone built one and real satisfied with it i would like to know what it is and how much trouble it was and whats involved and what caliber and how it shoots now i am not above something bigger but would rather stay with no recoil - and would prefer to load instead of buying factory - eager to hear what everyone says
