The Cost of Gunsmithing- Be Careful
The costs for gunsmithing services are generally based on time and materials. You are paying for someone's time in experience and their ability to fabricate or "manufacture" exactly what is needed to close tolerances the first time. Americans have been conditioned to “price shop,” but please keep in mind that quality work in this space is imperative to your safety. A cheap job can easily result in a costly—if not deadly—mistake.
The safety of yourself, those around you, or that prized heirloom are not something to "farm out to the lowest bidder".
Education and detailed explanations are a good indicator of success. In other words, if someone is willing to really discuss your issue, you can and should take that as a good sign.
