[QUOTE="Holycity73, post: 1732397, member: 106526"] Cost can vary with smiths as widely as it can with cars. You get what you pay for and sometimes you’re paying for the name engraved in the barrel. I have my go-to local guys and my “swear by” more well known smiths. All do fine work, but only two will draw massive attention based on their names alone. As for what smiths charge these days, I’d say pay what your comfortable with for the level of performance you need. Not everyone wants a one hole gun, so I’ve heard, but it sure is nice when it happens consistently due to the skill of a great Smith. GAP will charge more than the guy down the street, but there’s also a reason people will generally buy a used GAP with no questions asked beyond round count and reloading data. Your old prices are still pretty reasonable by today’s standards. Wait times are pretty close to the same too. Good luck and don’t forget to post pics of whatever you have built! J [/QUOTE]
