[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 2824561, member: 34578"] Just to give you an idea, for a basic stock strip and refinish with a modern finish my fee would be $100-$200 depending on amount of prep work needed (Removing old finish, hand sanding, dent removal) and any checkering or engraving will added to the complexity (and cost). Also know that any refinish work will severely degrade or even eliminate any collector's value in the rifle. However since it has already been refinished, and poorly at that, a quality job would likely be beneficial to value, although it rarely adds enough value to recoup the cost of the work. Also keep in mind that i do this as a hobby on the side and not a profession. A professional company would likely cost more. And this is the stock only, metal work is a totally separate cost. Hope this helps Check out my threads in the rimfire section to see some examples of what I've done for reference. [/QUOTE]
