Maybe you just are not engineers and/or consider that your life depends on the tools in front you and know how things can go wrong. and/or have the nature that you just want to know how it works. So for 40 odd years I have had a tendency to strip second hand things down to make sure they are safe and not worn so I can trust them when I come to use them.

Its a good job we are all different otherwise it would be a boring world.

If I want to find out how an 'Enfield' works I'll buy the bits and pieces and build one - if I have a perfectly good one (my unmolested Savage is shooting less than 1 MOA) then I'll leave it alone. I would have no interest in stripping it 'just because I can'.

I get a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction from re-creating a rifle from 'nothing', and, sourcing the parts from all over the world is part of the challenge and 'fun'
