Well sure, if you'd like.

I can't quote it as I have not seen the lock. The worst case scenario is that the pan is drilled not only high or low, but at a slant. If it is "as bad as it can get" the fix would be to replace the pan and the frizzen both. These 2 parts and the 2 screws would cost about $25, shipped to me.

If I had to fit the new pan and new frizzen, and do the heat treatment, the whole project would come to about $50-$60 If only the frizzen just needs to be replaced, and the pan is fine I would have to guess the cost would be about $30 and $40 tops

Now this has to be judged against the price of a new lock from Jim Chambers. The Siler locks come from him perfectly set up, and they cost about $115. They are in the white, so they have to be finished, and if your lock is engraved you'd want to repair it instead of replace it I think.

Engraving costs more, but it all depends on how much engraving you have done, and how fine that engraving is. It can be $30 and it can be $150.

Color casing is more still.

So you see why I say I need to see the lock before I give you any quotes?

Anyway, in most cases, it's probably best to repair.
