Has anyone built a 10/22 from a 80% receiver? I would like to

But why? That seems like an unnecessary route about things.

why would you need to? the thing's like $200, and isn't a scary black salt rifle. I don't see why you cant just buy it

It's a lot harder and much more precise, especially when drilling and threading for the barrel. Stick to ARs if you don't have much work machining,

>But why?
some of us are tinkerers and some of us prefer ghost guns
im not OP i just prefer things without serial numbers

I really want to build a 74 from a Bulgarian parts kit. I've been told that AKs are really easy to fuck up and to just send it to a professional builder. Is this just fuddlore? I don't see anything too difficult in the process.
>Press barrel components on
>Rivet front trunion into receiver
>Press barrel in, check headspace, press barrel pin
>Rivet rear trunion
>Rivet trigger guard
>AR-15 level internal assembly
>Refinish

Is there anything in the listed process that's difficult? Should I stick with the 74 or build an AKM? Which barrels are worth a shit? Is there a particular finish I should use? NoDak Spud looks like the most recommended receiver, but what about Childer's Guns? He offers custom engraving, and I kinda want to get a name engraved on it. Kalashifags pls help
