MotoSook -- I've been looking at whole, complete rifles as well. The pricing situation there is really no better. No-name rifles that used to sell for $450 are going for easily triple that. I've been keeping my eyes on the various websites for anything reasonable, but ... yeah.

On the bright side, the political winds don't seem to be favoring renewal of the AWB, so maybe this will all pass, for now. Fingers crossed?

Thanks again for the advice,

Dan
