[QUOTE="gillman7, post: 793698, member: 2784"] Unless it is a nationally recognized gunsmith that is known for customization, like Nowlin, etc., you will not recoup your money. I could do the same things to my RIA, and when it comes time to sell it, it is a RIA. Unless you find someone that wanted the same things you did on it, they will not value it the same. That being said, if it is what you want, buy it, shoot it, don't worry about the resale if you think you will keep it. If you are buying it for an investment, don't. I figure the enjoyment that I get out of shooting mine, can not be taken away from me, and in the same line, takes away some of the value of the gun. There is the Gun Show this weekend, go find a new one, and customize it yourself. Shoot it for a while to find out what mods you really want before you do anything to it. When you are ready, there are a couple of guys on the board that are excellent with them, Olyeller, and Dr Barry Greyson. Both of them are very busy, so you may have to wait on them, but it is worth it. [/QUOTE]
