After having done this

Thanks.

After having done this, I can safely say that whatever the custom stock maker charges for their work is a bargain.

Be it $500 $600 or whatever they charge for a custom marauder or a disco stock, it's worth every penny. Excellent bargains in fact. After going through the amount of work, I can certainly appreciate the value in a good custom stock much better.

There is no way I can do this for a living. You can make them if you love doing it, but you can't do it to get rich.
