Services & Prices

Note: Prices are subject to change without notice, call for current pricing.

The following is a partial list of the services offered: Please note the package prices are only suggestions for work. You may not need all of the work in the package such as lowering the port on Colt model 1911's since all of the ejection ports on new model 1911's is lowered from the factory.  Also, prices are all over the board for sights and night sights.  There are so many variations sometimes it is difficult to quote accurate prices without seeing the gun and what it will take to install sights, but prices run all the way from a around $85.00 to install sights on guns with dovetails already cut to around $225.00 to install low mount night sights on guns that have to be altered to accept the sights. When installing low mount sights always keep in mind the metal might have to be finished when the job is complete.  

 

Barrel Threading for Suppressors (Silencers/Cans), Flash Hiders, And Other Screw-on Attachments

Many semi auto pistol barrels such as Glock, Beretta, Model 1911's have barrels that may be ordered with threaded extensions and thread protectors for your barrel attachment.  However, many pistols such as the S&W model 41 and the Ruger bull barrel Mark II's must have the barrel altered to accept the suppressor or other attachment.  We do that work in several unique ways.  I have listed a few prices for popular work requested in this area.  We no longer do general rifle gunsmithing, but have extended our pistol and revolver work to include cutting threads on on rifles to accept barrel attachments such as suppressors.

Cut and crown a rifle barrel............................................................$75.00+

Cut and crown rifle barrel if barrel has to be pulled.........................$165.00

Cut and crown rifle barrel if front sight has to be replaced...............$165.00+

Thread rifle barrel for suppressor...................................................$125.00

Thread rifle barrel for suppressor if barrel has to be pulled..............$195.00

Turn a custom thread protector.....................................................$45.00

Fit S&W Model 41, Ruger Mark I, II & III bull barrels and others for suppressors without having to turn the barrel or move the front sight. (I bore out the front of the barrel and screw a 1/ 2" by 28 TPI insert into the barrel which extends out from the muzzle 1/2".)................................................$195.00 (Includes a thread protector.)

GLOCK PISTOL WORK

 

Click to see enlargment The Glock safety shown in silver is for photo purposes only. The actual safety is black. 

We have installed hundreds of safeties without a problem. They work exactly like most popular thumb safeties so when they are up the safety is on and when it is down it is off and ready to fire.  The safety completely blocks the trigger assembly bar so it cannot be moved to rear to push the striker back.  We have installed them for  citizens with concealed carry license, police departments and every other user of the Glock pistol and everyone loves them.  The main reason given by customers wanting an active thumb safety installed is, "they feel uncomfortable and unsafe carrying a pistol without an active safety."  Another reason is given by peace officers who carry every day and feel, "if the pistol is taken away from them the safety would give them a few extra seconds to fight for it or acquire their under cover gun."  No matter what your reason, an active safety on any semi automatic pistol could not only save your life, but the life of a family member or innocent bystander if the pistol discharges by accident.

 

Turn around time is usually one to two days.  All you need to ship is any model lower unit without the magazine. You can ship insured USPS Priority mail for around $15.00.  When shipping any firearm always ship it insured for its full value and with a signature required. Your lower unit will be returned to you by UPS Ground insured for $500.00, adult signature required and, in most case for "residential delivery." Your cost for this UPS service is  $18.00.  This is the most secure way for us to ship.  Texas residents add 8.125% sales tax.

      Extended slide release                    $39.00
 
Install thumb safety          $ 115.00 plus $18.00 shipping.
3.5 pound trigger connector          $   25.00
Various sights installed From $  75.00  There are scores of variations so search the internet or talk to friends and decide what suits your need the best.

Letter from Glock confirming Factory Warranties will remain intact when thumb safety is installed

METAL FINISHING AND ENGRAVING

Click to see enlargmentClick to see enlargment These two photos are of a Ruger Blackhawk that has been high polished with color case hardened frame, carbona blue handle, barrel and other parts and Nitre blued screws and pins.  The charge for this type of finish  runs $950.00 and up depending on the level of hand polishing required in order to prepare the metal plus shipping to Doug Turnbull for the color case and carbona blue. The total cost of the labor for the pictured Blackhawk was around $2,500.00.

Metal finishing is the most expensive part of custom gun work.  If you want square corners, sharp screw holes and ripple free flat surfaces the metal must be hand sanded without use of power equipment.  Grit paper is wrapped around flat pieces of rubber eraser and other backings, concave surfaces have to be polished with grit paper wrapped around matching convex surfaces and round surfaces must be shoeshine polished.  The gunsmith starts with 120 to 220 grit paper on every surface, progresses through 320, 400, 500 and 600 grits.  The metal is then caustic blued, carbona blued, color cased, nickel, gold or silver plated, glass beaded, or finished with a combination of all of those.  Following is a estimate of what it will cost you to finish a Ruger Blackhawk revolver to a high polish with a combination of the above described finishes:
1200 grit finish on all parts............................................................................................................$350.00 Add $75.00+ for very light  removal of rust pits.  Removing heavy dents, abrasions, pits, and other marks while preserving lettering is very costly and is quoted on a piece by piece basis.
Color case frame and carbonia blue all other parts....................................................................  375.00
Nickel or silver plate handle.......................................................................................................    175.00
Nitre blue all screws and pins.....................................................................................................    75.00
 

Engraving  by Terry Theis, Weldon Lister or Brian Powley................................$1,550.00+ and up for deep relief 50% coverage. Deep relief 75% coverage engraving will cost around $1,800.00 to $2,500.00.  These prices are ballpark figures dependent on the engraver, size of the gun, hardness of the metal, and many other things that effect the art of engraving.  Engravers are artists who work at the highest level of their trade so prices are subject to change and fluctuation dependent on many factors, but the prices quoted will be close for plain scroll engraving without initials or scenes.  Shipping to and from the engraver is extra and is usually around $70.00.  Before engraving the surface must be polished prepped for the engraver which is an extra charge.  The least expensive surface preparation if the metal surfaces are free of pits and scratches is glass beading which will run around $65.00 and up.
