at the same time 1 hours labour at a service department of a factory car costs $ 100 perhaps (here it is £120.00 per hour). It just cannot be done and stay in business.

This may indeed be the crux of the whole issue.

Maybe bolt rifles should be sold as some muzzle loaders are; as "kit guns".

I am not kidding. State the nature of the unfinished work honestly and completely, and sell the gun as "semi-finished". The buyer gets a proofed barreled action and cobbles as he can, or has a g-smith do it. No baloney, I like the concept.

Seems like 90% of the warts I run into are issues that involve final or near final fitting or finish tho they may indeed affect function. I have many times found myself hunched over a new gun wondering why the Ape didn't just leave it alone for me to do rather than mucking with it at all.
