Hello,

This is my first post and felt like this thread was a good place to jump in. I've read several threads on here after they came up in searches, but finally came to the website and saw this forum for building DR. This got me very excited b/c on the other forum I visit I asked about building a DR on a shotgun frame and they acted like I was crazy so I just forgot about it.
I read some of the threads on here and saw the mention on Ellis Brown's book which blew out the competetion on my want list. What I was hoping, since I have no gunsmithing skills yet, is if you guys could point me in the right direction on learning material. I was thinking about getting the AGI gunsmithing program, but that is finacially out of the question just like going to a school is. Other that E. Brown's book what do I need to get. I was thinking something like metal working or mill/lathe work.
If I can learn I would love to make a 9.3x74r and/or a 450/400 3" on a CZ action. Are these cartridges with factory ammo a possibility. Even if it is a ten year project, I have always wanted to build my own rifle and kill a trophy moose with it.
Hope I don't make my self a pest around here. Thanks for any help.
