LeFusil: No doubt you can buy a decent BSS for $2,500 to $3,500.

I have never done a "project gun" and I know many on this site have. Not doubting your numbers, but how the heck can you do a project on a Coggie, or any gun for that matter for $2,500 to $3,500? Just trying to get smarter. Did you do most of the work, including the stock, yourself?
