Back to the topic, sorta. Don't cheap out on a smith. They have rent, equipment, tooling, etc to cover. Prices do range from retired guys doing it at leisure to working smiths making a living. Cheapest is not always the worst and most expensive is not always the best. Best idea is to pm or email some smiths and get a feel for costs. If you want to do it yourself, be careful and be safe.

Not necessarily aiming my post at you. You just may have been the last post before I posted. My bad for not replying to the specific post. Still, there has been some good advice and quite a lot of bad advice in this thread. I guess its up the the OP to sift through it. My thought is it pretty much ends up with the advice of the poster above who stated that neither the cheapest nor the most expensive smith would be the best. Ask around and make your decision based on verified experience with a given smith vs. price.

The consensus answer to your question is, apparently,
NO.

Think I am going to rebarrel with a midway 257 barrel, drill and tap, replace trigger with bold trigger/safety combo, replace shroud and drop in an interarms takeoff stock. Any reason this setup will not fit an interarms stock?
