5 minutes is about the maximum time it takes me to do one, but then again, I do a lot of them. if he can't do it in under 20 he is a scrub and doesn't know what he is doing.
eta: I would expect him to charge a minimum bench fee at least for agreeing to do the job, regardless of the amount of time it takes to complete. they are very easy to do though |

So my gunsmith gets back to me and the bill is $100. 2 hours labor.

I just fitted a CZ threaded barrel to my CZ75BD. I took my time and it was about 30 minutes on the kitchen table.
