So, what's a fair price to pay for cutting a 7-1/2" Vaquero barrel back to about 5-1/2", re-crowning, touching up the blueing and reattaching the front sight?

John, $80.00 to cut the barrel back, machine a slot for the sight, solder it in place and refinish? Oh it's fair, but to who?

No self respecting cowboy would show up anywhere at high noon with his six gun sporting a dovetail front sight. He might get laughed at.

Craigster, yes, Blackhawks are the same. They're easy to do and I've done many of them, both blued ones and stainless. Like I said, if I have to shorten the ejector housing and maybe the base pin it costs more.
