** Updated - Pics Pg 4 ** Where are my Ruger 10/22 people? Buy new or assemble?
Ok - I made he mistake of shooting a friend's suppressed 10/22 a couple months ago. I now have a Gem-tech Mist 22 that is waiting on stamp approval. My dilemma now is whether or not to buy a complete 10/22 as a donor rifle, or assemble one from parts.
Part of the reason I'm leaning towards assembly is that I want to use the Magpul X22 stock and I will of course be replacing the factory bbl (for those who don't know the Gem-tech can is part suppressor and part bbl).
I found this option for a receiver: http://www.tacticalmachining.com/100...-receiver.html
Advantages to an aftermarket receiver include a built in picatinny rail and a hole in the rear to allow a cleaning rod. And maybe better quality materials?
The concerns I have are mostly based on my not knowing what I don't know. I've built a few AR's but I know squat about the 10/22. Is it easy to assemble the small parts? Is it easy to install the trigger? Is it going to save me a lot of frustration just buying a $200 complete rifle and swapping the stock and bbl?
I'm hoping to learn from those of you who have gone before me. Thanks!

Before you suggest that licensing, background checks, or other restrictions for the 2nd Amendment are reasonable... Apply those same ideas to the 1st and 4th Amendments. Then tell me how reasonable they are.
