[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1481070, member: 99519"] If we have to look at each and every dollar of a build..we need to really cut the bs and fix the price....every smith can only charge this amount per work done on the rifle....you guys know....socialism....you can't have anymore that anyone else.... If carpenters and dentist and doctors and everyone else were limited to a maximum they could charge for work..would you get the same results... Hell no.....its called capitalism...get what you can while you can....cause it may come to a screeching halt...tough part for lots of us is that we may be independent business owners and have scruples....if when i go out on a job and i see when i get there the sweetest little old lady living in a trash heap I have problems charging her the same amount as i would some doctor living in a mansion...he sure as hell isn't gonna give me a break if i show up to his office in need of help.........but then again..that poor little lady probably has more cash stuck in her mattress than i have ever seen....its the way it goes... All we can hope for when we take something to a smith is something that works like it is supposed to when we get it back......what he charges for his work better be worth it and up front about the price or he better get the hell out of the business....just like other people in other occupations...
