I happened to find another rifle that was already built. So I didn't have to wait.

I don't blame you one bit boomerang. I'd like another one of his rifles, a light one, but have no patience anymore for that kind of wait. Hope you enjoy yours.
The thing is, if’n someone wants a rifle with specific features or specs, your either going to have to build it oneself or have it made.
In my case, I have specs for the rifle that would not be (at all) likely to come across in a pre-built gun, and I am not so handy nor patient enough for building one myself.
In the meantime, I’ve plenty of other guns and hobby’s to keep myself busy. Hope the wait is worth it once it’s done though!

Did any of you ever buy or shoot a gun that was made at the shop in Colonial Williamsburg, VA? I've toured it a couple times, but thought they were asking something like $10,000 for a gun and that was years ago.
Many years ago I visited the gun making shop in Williamsburg and it was a trip back into history. Fascinating. The waiting list was long, well over a year back then, and very expensive. Couldn't afford the wait or cost back then, and still can't. They do make really good stuff.

If ya want a first class rifle you gotta pay a first class price! Lots of junk out there but I learned about not buying junk 60 years back!
I’d imagine a Wallace Gussler made rifle with hand forged barrel and handmade mountings and carved from a blank and lock hand forged and filed would indeed cost a fortune.
