its okay, you'll learn if you want.

I am a child of the 60's (well maybe 70s is more accurate) and I do pretty good

and both John D and John S are older than me and they are both much better at computers than me (John D makes me look like a newbie computer guy)

Stupid Q-Why would one want a custom gun, what is the purpose of it? I know he was happy, and modestly advised "I have a custom gun" that is all he said, he was not a loud person or a bragger.

Jeannie -

A person might want a custom firearm as simply a way to express their own individuality or as a way to have something in a particular caliber that they might like, etc.

If a person acquires enough firearms, they are likely to eventually acquire something that is "different" or "unique" or custom made.

It's just a matter of personal preference. Sort of like writing a letter with a fountain pen or a ball point pen. Do I use black ink, or blue ink, etc., etc.

By the way, I lost my Dad in 2007 and I have all of his firearms too. They are nothing special, but they mean a lot to me and I will always take good care of them. So I know how you feel. All we can do is be thankful for whatever time we were able to spend with them.

He was a gun addict

As a kid we were gun poor so to speak. So, I guess he just wanted a custom gun, had it made the way he liked. He deserved it for sure.
