[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 656821, member: 1521"] What makes you so sure that you know enough about guns to build a good one? Because a checkbook is singin to ya? Many 'custom' guns don't end up shooting better. People who insisted them together don't even reload, and never had an actual plan, much less risked greater resources to test and tweak and test -until building a proven recipe. They were just rolling the dice. I've built & bought customs in the $6000 range(still do), and bought factory for way less. And truly I can relate to a lot of what Lou listed. If some gunbuilder out there has hammered out a guaranteed performing system(that's field practical), I'm open to paying for it lately. When/if I need a 30br scoring gun? I'll cut a single check for turn-key and be done with the mess. Hell, my last completed custom took 3yrs to finish! It was a very annoying process.. Stockmaker says 2mos, turns into 7mos.. That's ok, barrel finisher lied too.. But back of the line with stock finisher, now costing 6 more months,, before he can lie to me.. Then off to get what they messed up fixed, and then get the metal coated.. I gotta give completing gunbuilders who must outsource credit. It has to be a very stressful job. [/QUOTE]
