You’re likely going to get hosed selling I doubt it. badger seems pretty sharp and I don't see him getting hosed by somebody. I do however agree with most in this thread. Your custom (project) is generally of no or little interest to other buyers. However, if you are patient, you may do well. Your list of calibers limits your audience/market. Without arguing the pluses of improving a cartrdge Ackley-wise, the fact is, a very small portion of shooters want that. The same goes for your preferred stock, action, trigger, etc. I think with selling customs second-hand, it is important to get the firearm into the hands of a prospective buyer so he can really appreciate it. This is just not always an option. Good luck badger. Clearly getting “Hosed” wasn’t meant to suggest OP would allow himself to be taken advantage of....If you would have quoted my entire post, instead of trying to be a smart-ass with selective quoting like a Liberal, I wouldn’t need to kick you in your fat head. 😎 Take your liberal, snowflake, crybaby panties off and put on some big boy pants. It wasn't an attack on you, it was support for him, for lack of a better term. Have a good day.

To anger a conservative, lie to him. To annoy a liberal, tell him the truth.

You can’t call me a Liberal after I’ve already called you one....That’s like playing tag with yourself, dumb-dumb. 😬😎

It's kind of like saying "I know you are but what am I?". But, you calling me a liberal is kind of like calling a fat guy "slim" or some such nonsense. I guess I just came uncorked. Be well.

Always Fun yapping at someone who can take and give it...We’re good.
Feel free in the future to enjoy throwing a mitten full of monkey dung my way. Especially when I’m talking stupid...Which is frequent. Grins.

I think there's a market for your custom rifle, problem is it is a very small market and might take a long time to find it! But the larger market would be for something like pre 64 Winchester's. I haven't a clue why people pay so much for them. How much your rifle is worth depend's solely on you, what are you willing to sell it for? Then can you find the guy willing to pay your price? I keep reading about guy's wanting to know the resale value of their rifle down the road. That's easy. It's like everything else. It's worth what your willing to sell it for, rifle's are a lousy investment for the most part. I have a custom. 1903 Springfield cost $500 brand new! It was appraised about 25 yrs ago at $7500. I was built in 1945 By Paul Jaeger.. I believe I'd grow a whole lot older waiting for someone to pony up the money for it! It'll never be for sale!
That rifle was made for a very close friend of mine that died in 1995. I wouldn't mind having one made but not for the kind of money they run. Custom's can certainly be beautiful but getting your money back out is close to impossible. Oh wait, I do have a rebarrel I might call custom. 700 BDL with factory stock completely re-finished, factory trigger (I like the Remington trigger), 25" Shilen match grade barrel in 6.5x06. I've got about $800 in it and doubt I could get that out of it. Ya want an inestment? Buy land!

Play Pretty Barbie Doll Safe Queens aren't worth a fhuqk,both figuratively and literally.
Hint.........................
just a sneaking suspicion the CF crowd are more likely to have Ken doll customs. God made Adam first, but Mattel had good business sense to create Barbie first.
