Thread: Custom build ideas

Hello - Over the years I've commissioned a few customs of the blued steel and walnut variety, never spending quite as much as you propose though (in one go).

Things to think about with the benefit of hindsight . . . .

Its your project, consult others, seek ideas but don't be a follower or compromise, it nearly always leads to disappointment - set you own objectives for the project and stick with them. I've been impressed with a couple of the recent build stories guys have posted up here where they have produced a really well thought through result.

Don't be swayed or lead by current fashions or fads, nothing wrong with some of the new stuff (or old for that matter either) but a lot of what the firearms industry produces (both product and ideas) is designed to get people to spend money on the latest stuff, which is seldom much improvement on whats been done before.
