I've been looking for a .45, and thought "Why not build one?". I'm going to do some research, but figured I'd ask here, too.
Physically, I'm an appartment dweller, so I don't have a workshop, bench, nor too many tools (although, obviously, I can buy tools). Problem?
I'm an engineer, (although not of the mechanical kind) so I can follow directions, but I'm not especially mechanically inclined nor am I experienced in metalworking whatsoever. I'm not retarded, it's just not part of my present skillset. Problem?
I'm pretty new to handguns, and am not 100% sure how everything works. I can point out a slide vs. a receiver. I can identify an extractor vs a barrel. I probably could detail strip my Sig, and would have maybe a 50% chance to get it all back together. Problem?
I'm willing to invest 600-700$, including parts and tools. Problem?
I live in MA. Problem?
Is there an idiot's guide to this available on the internet? A book that I could order? A class I could take? Where should a reasonably intelligent but utterly ignorant appartment-dweller start? Should he not?
