Madscientist, most smiths will treat checking headspace as a flat rate job. Almost all my work is priced by the job. But, Sensop, there's a lot of work that a smith does that can't be charged that way. If I have to make/rebuild a part for instance I'll tell the guy up front that he will be charged by the hour and I'll tell him what I think the max price will be. I don't charge folks while I'm eating lunch or on the phone or talking with a customer that comes in while I'm on that job but I don't work for free either. It just comes down to whether or not you trust your gunsmith and if you don't trust him to charge you fairly then you shouldn't have him doing work for you in the first place. George
