[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1480970, member: 4191"] Agree, but my experience, and many others more qualified and experienced than mine (even practicing gunsmiths) indicate quality machine work at substantially less than $2000. If you're talking custom wood stock work, that's another category of gunsmithing work. For the complete machine work, and glass bedding if the barrelled action to a McMillan stock, much less than $2K. Also, if a high quality custom action is provided to a gunsmith, there will be no action truing or machine work required on the action. Deduct $250-300 right from the get-go, compared to a factory/production action. [/QUOTE]
