[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 1099315, member: 9964"] What is the hourly rate for gunsmith/machinist? I takes an experienced and set up gunsmith, 20-30 minutes to dial in a barrel at the chuck and at the spider or Gordy's method. It takes another 20 minutes to turn down a tenon. another 20 minutes to thread a tenon. Ten 10 minutes to counter bore. and 20 minutes to chamber, chamfer and polish. 5 minutes to check the headspace. 30 minutes to take the barrel out of the lathe, and cut an inch off it and return it to the lathe and dial in the muzzle and crown it. Then 30 minutes clean it and test fire it and another 20 inutes to engrave the Smith's name and caliber. The way I look at it you have 3 hours of pretty intense labor involved. Machine time and reamer and gauge cost. Anything under $300.00 is a deal. Nat Lambeth [/QUOTE]
