I'm thinking of getting an action job done on my Uberti 73 Cattleman just to slick it up a bit. Could anyone give me a general idea of a ballpark figure this should cost me? The gunsmith I used to go to and trusted is gone and just want to make sure I don't get taken. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

hm depends on what you want done. some of the guys are getting short stroke kits, replacing the brass lifter with a alum for faster yet action, etc. 60 bucks doesnt even buy a tank of gas, pay a light bill etc. hardly buys decent dinner. forget about other related buisness costs. of course everything is based on opinion or regional differences. bobn
I've paid between $100 and $125 for professional action jobs on single actions. Most custom gunsmiths fall right in there. Some up to $175. Some also install internal stops and reharden the affected parts, some just smooth them out. Price depends on what you're getting. I tend to swap springs and do my own stoning with great results but New Model Rugers require a gunsmith's hand to reduce creep to an acceptable level. Some replicas can benefit from the installation of better, domestic parts.
