POLL: New vs. Custom
Just a little poll to see what you guys think. Would you rather spend your money on a new firearm or send out an old dog to get customized/refinished?
Why did you choose the way you did?

i picked a new gun because i dont like refinishing guns that i have “broke in”. I like the gun with wear and maybe beat up because its a use loved gun. If i have a gun that functions well but is very warn i would do nothing with it besides shoot it more. just me though. I would refinish a weapon if it needed a complete overhaul though.

Depends on the gun, what your planning on doing with it, and what its value is.
I would not refinish or modify a collector grade gun unless it was to stop further deterioration. If you are looking to make a target pistol or a long distance rifle, a new gun will get you much closer, and probably much cheaper than modifying an older gun.

I voted new gun because that’s been my behavior. I’m now considering, maybe, some custom work on one 1911.

I'm torn between the two choices myself. Been wanting to send out a pistol for custom work for a while now but, that new gun smell is amazing. This poll was just for fun and there really is no "role" for the either new or customized gun in question. Just another range toy. For serious duty I would vote new OEM every time.
I did the math on customizing my Browning Hi Power and with that money I could buy two new guns or a really nice higher tier firearm. Still torn.
