I'm a newby too. So far I havent been burned on my rebuild but I'm doing a very easy rebuild. My advice is ask the experts here berfore you buy. There are some good people on here that will help and know their stuff. Read all the post. I have and learned alot. When I first posted I never taken a carbine apart. Now I have one in alot of pieces..LOL Hopefully I get the dang thing back together..LOL
