jwhittin Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 It depends what you need. Having a competent smith do the work will cost around $150 to $200 just for the labor but it's worth it. A good quality ignition kit such as EGW runs around $140. Add shipping if not local. Most smiths will only do 3-5 lb trigger jobs. Below 3 lbs is only recommended for completion shooting.

A DYI job with a new “semi dropin” set of parts should be $150-ish. That assumes you’re read-up enough to do it yourself. An honest smith using new parts should charge $250-300.

zzt Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Around me it's $100 plus parts. Most of the $100 is setup time. Once the barrel jig is setup, the work is done in no time. If you are being charged more than $100 plus parts, your gunsmith does not have a barrel jig and a mill. Stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I'm not following you on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
