It is so expensive because you need normally 3-4 people to do the job. Barrel maker, actioner, barrel blacker, engraver, proofhouse.
Assembling the tubes and fitting them takes the longest. It is quite a skilled thing to do, especially if you want the primer imprints to be dead centre and still have the same stock measurements as before. If you want to be able to put the makers name on the barrels you will end up paying a bit of a premium for the priviledge which you might recoup if you end up selling the gun...
