Here are some more ideas. Its sad to think it can cost you more for a single shot long rifle then a M1A.

WOW! I just checked some prices and can't believe how much they increased. I built some ten years ago and I'm shocked.

I've seen some used custom built guns on some of the ML taders forums for close to and somtimes less than the price of many of the kits from the places referenced above.Parts are getting really pricey.Those long pieces of wood are expensive.

Here's another place or two-

The quality of the materials also contrbutes to much of the cost. The first kits I built ,in the '70s, were CVA kits. I still have some of the parts. They look like junk compared to the stuff being made today. In the "90s I built a fusil type gun from parts and discovered how to make a two hundred doller rifle from $600 dollers in parts and screw ups. My next kit will be more like one of the high end kits from Track of the Wolf or one of the others.
The cost of those kits can be just the beginning. I was fortunate enough to order a flintlock (lock only) where the the gentileman who did the work made all new internals for the lock. The difference in how it feels and works is night and day with the one on my "90s built rifle. It's kind of like the difference between a pinto and a mustang. It's the difference between mass production and hand craftsmanship.
