It would certainly mean that people could perhaps aford the exotics which are out of reach now.

I could see sending out a barreled action with a D+T reciever, that is proofed and tested. And then Safety and trigger and botton metal, mounts etc left for the customer who could choose from a list.

If a standard action was used then there is a plethoria of wood or synthetic stocks.

Would you see them as blued or in the white ?
