Does anyone have a link to a decent gunsmith that shows what they charge? Or if anyone can just give me a ball park.

I'm looking at buying a Sig TacOps 1911 with some custom work done to it and I don't know what its worth. The work was supposedly done by a Sig armorer.

Polished the feed ramp on the frame and throat job.
Polished all the internals of the trigger group.
Polished the back side of the safety engagement.
Relieved the grip safety and polished the tongue.
Polished the firing pin retaining plate underside.
Removed the firing pin block from the slide.
Ground down and polished the series 80 trigger arms .
Cut hammer hooks down to .018" and polished and stoned them.
Stoned disconnector flat.
Stoned trigger bows flat.
Fit and polished the upper and lower face of the flat trigger.
Installed titanium firing pin and heavy duty firing pin spring.
Polished the firing pin channel.

Thanks for any input.
 
we do a list of work like that all the time, and we simply charge by the hour... with no fuck around breaks either... ;)

$100 an hour is our rate and that work would probably consume three hours, depends a bit on how long it took us to stone the first bit with a coarse stone. after the first stone, thing move a bit quicker since things are nice and flat... add the cost of a titanium pin, and you're looking at maybe $350 round trip or a tad less...
