No reason other than to try to substantiate custom made status.

If you look closely there are really nice custom rifles out there. One I remember well was custom short clone Mauser action in either .358 or .350. It had hand finished fancy checkered walnut stock some action engraving and fine iron sights. It was true custom because action came from in house. The name on the rifle was Wells (someplace from AZ if I remember correctly). That rifle was well worth several grand.
