[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2712585, member: 313"] Notwithstanding the utterly stupid rules and regulations that never stop changing, the cost has become a big factor too. I shipped a rifle from the east coast to the midwest for a barrel replacement. I shipped through our local Post Office. The rifle was put into a plastic hard case and then in an overpack box. It cost $125 to ship one way. The smith was able to return ship for $85, but the total cost to me for just shipping was $210! At this point, it pays to look for a competent gunsmith who is within driving distance of your home. I dropped off 3 rifles recently on a single trip. Probably just saved $600. [/QUOTE]
