[QUOTE="Hard rock, post: 2541221, member: 116620"] Don’t mean too offend any one here , you charge what you have too , you know your time involved on a project , if your top notch with the work you do and are reasonable , make your customers happy etc . I say great for you and your customer . The Spring Field does require a extractor cut just like the mod 70 . The gunsmiths of yesterday we’re happy too take on most any kind of job and would barrel up any thing . The gun shops and so called smiths around here don’t hold a candlestick too the gunsmiths I knew in the past I helped my dad plenty on his South Bend lathe build everything you can think of , complete rifles from the metal down too the Stock . I guess what irritates me is these gunsmiths in my neck of the woods act like if it’s not a 700 rem action they won’t touch it , excuse ,they have too reset for a different machining process and don’t have time whether your will too pay or not . I quit using them because reputable Barrel Makers will sell you the barrel chamber headspace and install , for what most smiths want too thread , chamber and install plus the cost of a barrel they charge for marked up double the price . I’ve built them both ways now I send my action in too the barrel maker. Good reputable gunsmiths are as scarce as hens teeth , I hope you are one of the good ones , I don’t mind paying for what I get that’s between the Smith and the customer. [/QUOTE]
