Gettin some new barrels for our TRG-22's so I was trolling the net looking at some things and saw a forum. Somebody asked about who chnages barrels for TRGs and a guy suggested a shop in Pa. So for grins I called and asked the price. I said we would send the actions with the new factory barrels (20" threaded and short chambered)and wanted them installed. He said, we'll install, properly break in the barrel and give a half moa guarentee for $1250.00
I said, "Maybe you misunderstood me, I'll give you the barrel, we just need them installed and headspaced." He said, Yeah that's $1250.00
Now maybe I'm just a little out of touch because the last barrel I had installed was from a blank I bought and the labor was $500.00 I mean am I wrong or is that price just off the wall.
I guess they assume if you have a high dollar gun your going to shell out the big bucks for repairs. That replacement cost is half the price of the gun.
