Re: My first custom build is all done!!!! for now.
I think you're taking liberty with the term custom. By your definition if I drew a smiley face on the stock it's now "custom." When the term "custom" is used on this site in reference to a rifle it carries a completely different connotation than just modifying it to one's liking. When I click on a title saying "my first custom build" I expect more than just seeing a factory rifle with a barrel changed out. I expect to see custom components put together by a competent smith. I'm done arguing semantics on what is custom and what is not. In my eyes it's still a factory rifle with a couple of mods.
