Bill's advice is spot on when considering a custom gun. You don't want to start with a project gun to begin with. The VH I bought from Bill was the ideal beginning as it was perfect mechanically. This isn't an inexpensive undertaking and be advised that a custom gun is just that a gun that's for you and possibly your heirs. This isn't something you undertake with the idea of being able to sell sometime down the road and profit on. You rarely get your money back from such a project BUT it's a unique item to you and I personally wouldn't want it any other way. Gunner's gun and I have had some great days afield and on the clays course.
I'm thinking Daisy needs a gun as well, perhaps a long barreled Fox in a 20 or a 16. Thinking usually gets me into trouble especially when it's gun related
