Gunsmithing Gunsmith charges

[MachoMan]

What do some guys charge to thread and chamber a barrel and crown and thread 5/8 24 for a brake

 

[Mordamer]

For chambering:
$200 to $350 is the general range I see.

For muzzle threads:
Lowest I've seen is $75 and highest I've seen is about $150. The average is $100 to $125.

I paid $500 for chambering and treading, which included the 5/8 muzzle. This also included cerakote though. So my guess is I would have been around the 350-400 mark for just the thread and chamber

Some guys charge $650.

For chambering:
$200 to $350 is the general range I see.

For muzzle threads:
$100 ish.

Lowest I've seen is $75 and highest I've seen is about $150. The average is $100 to $125.
[/. $350 would be about right for all of that

 

[Mordamer]

Ain’t no way that for good work.

Yes way.

For a Rem 700 it seems some of the top shops charge $300-350 for barrel fitting and $75-125 to thread a muzzle, that cost doesn't include the cost of the barrel

 

[Mordamer]

Some guys charge $650.

Just for the labor? Usually a price like that would include the barrel blank?

Just labor

$885 for clambering, muzzle threading and headspaceing on my action. That includes a 26" #7 heavy varmit Schnider barrel. Also fitting to a chassis and test firing.

 

[Ksracer]

$325-$450. Chamber, headspace, thread and crown muzzle for a normal bolt gun application. Does not include blank or installation. Anything outside that range and you should be asking what am I getting extra or why is it so cheap.

Does not include "installation"?

 

[Ksracer]

"Instalation". The part where the finished barrel is installed on the rifle?
The majority of the blanks I finish are headspaced to a blueprint or previous measurements I've taken and carried out the door. If somebody brings a bare action in, I'll screw it on no-charge.
If somebody brings in a complete rifle with a scope in tube chassis, that takes some time and I charge accordingly.

 

[Wannashootit]

Gotcha.
My work is more run-of-the mill (every action measured, barrel chambered to fit). Every one of them test-fired before it goes OTD.
Old school.

 

[Steel head]

My barrels are usually around $650-700ish So subtract a cut rifled blank from that.
