I have a mossy 500 "slugster" type (rifle sights / smooth bore) and it's presently 24".  I want to get a smith to cut it down to 19", take the front sight off and resolder it back on to the barrel.  How much would be a fair price to do that?

Also, if possible, how much do they usually charge to install a choke on your barrel?

I'll be checking on it tomorrow but if someone has some experience to share, I would really appreciate it.

Around here: about $75 (plus any refinishing if needed)

Thanks man, I just don't want to get ripped off.  I don't have a smith that I normally work with yet.  I've used different ones, but I usually feel like I'm not getting a right deal.  Early in my shooting life, I accidentally somehow disassemble the firing pin on my ruger Mk1 pistol and was young and took it in, instead of trying to figure it out myself.  They guy charged me $ 40 to put it back together and I had all the parts.  Seemed high to me.  Of course this is the same guy you charges $ 7 for an en bloc clip because "they're becoming hard to find".  I don't go to him anymore.
