GUN WORK PRICING SHEET

 

GUN WORK PRICING SHEET

All prices quoted below assume that the weapon is in relatively good shape and relatively clean. Weapons that are filthy will receive an additional charge of $40-80 to clean in preparation for requested work. Weapons should be wiped down by customer before dropping off. The vault is climate controlled, but dry weapons will rust while waiting for work. The company is not responsible for any rust or corrosion due to weapons being dropped off dry or dirty. The minimum charge for all work is $40.  New York State (Erie County) sales of 8.75% tax will apply to all labor and parts charges for NYS Residents.

Generally, there will be a minimum $40-$80 disassembly and reassembly fee on top of all quoted work. 

I reserve the right to refuse to do any work that is unsafe, illegal, or in poor taste. Unsafe conditions discovered in a weapon will be fixed at the standard charges as required. Unsafe firearms will only leave the shop with a signed understanding by the owner.

  1. Bluing Policy

    The following prices reflect the amount of time estimated to do a firearm in NRA Very Good Condition, in that the metal shows no pitting. An additional charge in accordance with Flat Rate ($80/hr) will be made for guns whose surface is pitted to varying degrees. It would be cumbersome to list each model, therefore, only representative models are listed. 

    A firearm will be refused for bluing if it is determined that it is unsafe in its present condition. It should be properly repaired before refinishing. If a firearm is judged to be unsound in its metallurgy, due to age or having been subjected to heat in a fire that would alter its heat treatment, the firearm cannot be blued. It is also policy that if a firearm is a boni-fide antique whose value would be impaired or diminished by bluing, it will be refused for refinishing. However, this would not exclude the possibility of an antique firearm being authentically restored.

    All efforts will be made to preserve lettering, markings and engraving. However, when the removal of pitting causes partial erasure of previously mentioned identifying marks, the entire marking will be removed. Caliber markings will be restamped. Patent markings, addresses or engraving will not be restamped or restored. Serial numbers will not be altered and pitting in or around serial numbering will remain.

    There are 4 finish options for firearms.

    - Option 1 is the shop standard finish with a Satin/400 grit finish. This applies to the barrel, magazine tube, receiver, and cylinder. Small parts such as sights, bands, and safeties will be bead finished. Aluminum parts will be Dura-coated. Parts that are factory cast will turn purple.

    - Option 2 is a complete satin bead/blast finish (this is always an extra $40 charge above the “satin/400” price listed). 

    - Option 3 is a high gloss or mirror finish (note-this is only applied to round barrels, mag tubes, pistol slide flats, and cylinders on the weapon).

    - Option 4 is a Hot-Rust blue finish generally used on shotgun barrels. Standard final grit used is 320. Price for work on rifle or pistol barrels will be quoted individually.

    *Options 1,2, and 3 are by hot emersion method.*

    *Octagonal and ventilated rib barrels require an additional charge of $240 due to the amount of hand work required. High gloss is not an option for these barrels.*

  2. *There is a minimum $20 charge to blue any part that has been altered or machined. Prices will be quoted for individual jobs.*
