[QUOTE="NomadPilot, post: 312973, member: 19896"] Do custom gunsmiths charge a profit margin on parts or just labor? i.e. If a part costs you $10 from Brownells, do you charge your customer $15 for that part? Or is your profit solely made by your labor fees? I don't mean to pry into private business matters, just what is the industry norm? I ask because I see lots of parts for sale on the forums and elsewhere and wonder (assuming I've done my homework and they're the exact same part) how much more economical it'd be to buy those and ship them to a gunsmith vs letting him acquire all the parts he'll need for my build.
