[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 601287, member: 2736"] That is the best way to go (One smith doing all the work and being responsible for it). I don't like doing part of a job because I dont know how well the rest of the work has been done and because if I build it complete then I can expect results. Some smiths are higher and I am sure that some are lower. Set up time and labor is the basis of these prices and they are real and fair. There is one of the best smiths on this site that does it for less because he has all the best tools and knows the work involved and must be faster than me. So again, it is what i is. I will say this, some smiths will charge more for something they dont realy want to do for one reason or another. Mostly they dont believe in doing it or they fear it will be detrimental to accuracy and dont have faith in doing it. There are a few that I dont like because my hourly rate is based on Remingtons style actions and they can take twice as long, lowering an already low price the by over half. The main thing is to be happy with your smiths quality, schedule and price before you start and that you know the value of the work being performed for you. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
