Default Hawken Rifle from a kit......

I have a .50 cal.Hawken rifle that I built from a Cabela's kit a few years ago. What would this be worth if I were to sell it??

F4YG, Not being funny, probably not much more then you paid for it.I've noticed that most people won't consider your labor.Years ago my now ex and I made crafts and went to shows.People don't consider the time that's put into the products.MO is you would be better off keeping it even if you use it as a wall hanger.I know you'll use it so enjoy the product of your time and skills.Ruger Redhawk

RugerRedhawk, I know your right about the labor time thing, I already have it hanging on the wall, looks good up there. I will probably keep it, it's fun to shoot once in awhile.

it depends on the kit builders ability and how much better it will look than a factory finished gun. For the most part it will barley be worth the sum of the parts, and since its a Cabelas instead of a TC or Lyman I think you chance of recovering your cost pretty slim, sorry, just my opinion.
