How much $$$ for barrel threading?

I am looking to have a Ruger 10/22's bull barrel muzzle threaded 1/2x28.
*Trust me, what I am doing is completely legal and above-board...I checked.*

First of all, I'd like to know what a fair price would be to have a qualified gunsmith perform this request. I was quoted $110 from one gunsmith, but that seemed high for a pretty straight-forward job.

Second, if someone could recommend a gunsmith that could do this for a reasonable price in Arizona, I'd be mighty appreciative.

Thanks.
 
Mylhouse, like Kurt I'd do it for $50 as well. Have you tried a local machine shop? Remove the barrel from the action and only take it to them. There is no license required for a machinist to do something like this unless you leave the action with him. Most will do small threading jobs for one hour's labor or less. George
 
Thanks, Kurt and George!

I appreciate the advice, and I will act on the suggestion by Mr. Stringer, locally.

If I can't find anyone suitable, I will contact one of you guys.
