I been thinking about buying a Ruger 10/22 rifle. i have look at other kinds and i narrowed it down to this brand. accessories seem to be widely available too. a stainless steel with synthetic stock is aroun $210 at walmart.

then i went on ebay to look at the parts available. and i think i want a different stock (a folding one) and its almost $60 for that. so i was wondering if i could buy all the parts and assemble a gun the way i like it (maybe cheaper?). is this legal cause i thought u have to register the gun when u buy it (i live in missouri) would this be a good idea rather than buying one and changing the stock?

also what parts are there to a gun? (i know of only the stock, and barrel)
