I have built from kits and planks. My problem is lack of skill and too little practice to produce the quality I desire. I know just enough to know where all my mistakes are, and that is the first thing I see when I pick up any of the guns I've built. So I have come to the realization that I will never develop the talents to build a gun I can appreciate. But I do have enough experience to recognize quality and historical accuracy in a builders work. Now I own a few custom guns that I will never tire of looking at and shooting.
