cost for screw cutting

[quicksilver 0]

i am looking to get a .17hmr screw cut and was wondering roughly how much i should expect to pay. I was given the price by a local RFD in n ireland which was quoted at approx £100, is this correct ? this does involve dropping the gun off in Drumfries to an engineering shop when the dealer is over.

 

thanks in advance

same price i was quoted for my 222 so i would say yes it is roughly the same price allround

just wanting to keep them honest

shop who quoted me also said 24hrs for pickup super fast compared to some rakers of petworth

Hello Pal.

Is that including reproof?

60 pound round by me well you wait and top workmanship

doesnt include reproof as the guy said it wasnt a requirement , do you need to reproof the larger caliber rifles, if that is taken into account with Noels quote then my £100 is looking a little more expensive. what it includes is

 

screw cut

cap to protect threads

dropping off the gun and collecting it again.

I've just paid £50 for mine. It was another £50 for reproofing which wasn't done at the same place, but I was told only needs doing if you are selling the gun??

Just had my 22/250 screw cut & fitted with a wildcat P8 for £265

£100 for screw cut seems expensive

Hundred quid for a cut without proof is very steep, can get it done near here for £40, £ proofed.

yea with out proof too.

Look aroun and you will get a cheap silencer and screw cut/proof for 130 ish.

i wouldnt bother with the proof if you want to keep the rifle anyway.

the general consensus seems to be that without re proof £100 seems a but steep for just screw cutting, i am looking the details for engineering workshops that screw cut and i will see what prices i get quoted, postage may be a problem though

Got mine done by a Rolls royce machinest/ gunsmith. £25, but needs to be delivered and collected. prepare to spend a day talking to the guy. Reproofing only an issue when you want shut. Midlands/Derby area so not much use to you.
