[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 2203012, member: 87887"] Its a relationship. You need to be clear in your expectations, but as the gunsmith is the "professional", he can also add valuable insight. Be open to suggestions. "Custom" is a loosely defined term, meaning many things to many people. Great suggestions above. My last couple of builds, I knew EXACTLY what my end goal was and once I was able to effectively communicate that to the smith, he was able to make some suggestions that I accepted and am grateful for his insight. Some of his suggestions cost me a little more, others saved me a little. I also understand that in the end, his name is going on the rifle. If he has a problem with what I ask him to do, I should listen to him. To me, these are value added services. [/QUOTE]
