How much to cut down a barrel and recrown?

[87iroc]

I pulled a boneheaded maneuver this week and messed up the tip of the barrel of one of my .22 pistols I just bought. I don't want to go in to it as its not a proud moment...but I need to cut about a 1/8" off the barrel and recrown it.

How much to have a gunsmith fix my error? Its a .22 semi auto pistol that the barrel is threaded(if the thread disappears I'm not too worried about it, I don't care if I put a suppressor on this gun in the future).

Just looking at a ballpark cost.

Thanks

I am looking to have a 1911 barrel cut and ground. After a little research looks like you can expect to pay 50 to 75 for it

Depends on the gun. Where's the sight located? Will the sight need to be re-located?

All's said and done, you're looking anywhere from 75-100 in my shop depending on the sight location.

Sight is just behind the threads so it won't have to be moved. Thanks for the ballpark! Off to find a gunsmith as this is cheaper than trying to buy the tool myself and doing it.

Anyone know of a gunsmith in the Edinburgh/Columbus/Seymour area? I believe Bite the Bullet has one on 'retainer'...that is planned to be my first stop.

Thanks!

If he is still in business Gary Growe used to be located west of Columbus on 46.

What type of grinding is done on 1911 barrels?

I have a Manson Crowning kit I might loan someone. The kit has a .30 caliber and .22 arbor with it.
