Wow

Since you already dropped it off I guess you are gonna have to pay the freight whatever he says. . You should always get a close idea of the cost of a trigger(or any other woork)job that you are going to have done. Hope you get a good job. Trigger work is not an easy or usually cheap thing to have done. My approximation would be 50-75 dollars should cover the job though....unless it is a really time consuming job. They are kinda neat guns though...I sold a couple back yonder in time. Most shot pretty good.

Thanks for the reply. If I "get away" with $75.00 and it is a decent job, I will be more than satisfied.
You are right that I should have gotten an estimate first. I usually do, but not this time. Thanks again. Karl

Mosdt trigger jobs that I have had done were in the $65 range, but those were for bolt action rifles. Your rifle, IIRC is not a common gun so the tariff just might be some what higher, especially if the gunsmith has never worked on one of that type.
