I don't know the first thing about gunsmithing. Having said that, I have a M70 in 338 with a crack in the stock, and a gunsmith telling me that I need a new trigger. He wants to charge me $165.00 for a timney(sp?) trigger, plus 125.00 to install it. He told me he could get me a stock for $150.00, and was going to charge me 50.oo to "fit it." I found the trigger at E-gunparts.com for 63.00, and an original M70 stock for 93.00. The guy at e-gunparts said the stock is completely finished and shouldn't need any work. He also "claimed" that I could install the trigger with little or any effort and I should just have a gunsmith check the work after I was done. Any suggestions, or opinions on the subject would be appreciated. Is the gunsmith taking me for a ride or just asking for what the work is worth?
