[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2441512, member: 24284"] As I recall, that page in Brownells catalog was a [B][I]survey[/I][/B] of what gunsmiths were/are charging for their work. Posted that in response of the [B][I]Blue Book[/I][/B] comment made in a previous post. Blue Book is an average of used car/truck prices, that page in the Brownells catalog is just that, an average of labor rates for variety of tasks. Myself, I do a lot of work others can't do or don't want to do and charge accordingly and only take in work I'm interested in to begin with. I haven't advertised in many years. Always seem to have more than what I feel I can do in a timely manner, but the majority are willing to wait. I try not to male 'um wait too long! Maybe the Shadow Tracker should have looked at the Brownells catalog as it shows about the same min. and max. for what has been posted so far, in this thread. Many don't charge enough for their work, as it's more or less a hobby , and there are others who are way too 'proud' of their work. Ya' gotta' find your place in the market to survive and prosper.
