. . . I honestly don't understand why they can be had for ~$500 to $5,000 and up. If the one for $500 functions as flawlessly as one for $2,500, then to me the quality is the same. . .
So in your book if a car can go the maximum speed limit then its quality is the same as another car that can do the same?
A 1974 Chevy Vega hatchback can cruise at 65 mph. So can a Chevy Corvette. The quality must be the same? Both can do what the government sets as the maximum legal speed, so the objective is achieved.

Folks here are thinking of Nighthawk or STI/SVI or Baer or Wilson but those are not true custom guns, those are nothing more than limited production guns that are super slicked up Government models built to order.
Chow, Swensen, Woodcock, Belhert, and others were true innovators and simultaneously were also genius engineers and superb craftsmen. These folks built 1-off true custom pieces where each was unique and individual. Not trying to sound snooty, but I honestly don't think that most of the people who replied to this thread understand anything about the true custom gun market to which Woodrow is referring.
Nighthawk or Baer may build 50 identical guns in a year, Belhert might built 150 guns in a lifetime and only a few would even have interchangeable parts.
