Let's look at it economically. A "new" factory gun is going to lose about 1/3 of its' value the first time it's shot. That said, there will ALWAYS be a broad and ready market for it, because it's a known maker and commodity. A custom gun should be worth about what you pay for it down the road, and maybe more (assuming you don't beat it up too badly), but the market will be a lot thinner, and selling it will take more effort.That said, hands down the custom gun is going to be a much nicer gun, (better components, better wood, better grain direction, better architecture--the whole thing) and will turn a lot more heads at the range than "just another Lyman". Good guns, but there are a lot of them out there. Accuracy will probably be about the same, but the Lyman may have more user friendly sights on it.Hope that helps give it a different perspective too.
