    Manufacturing a trigger price

    Hi all. I have been looking to replace the slave trigger on my b&m tx200sr bullpup. The trigger is basically a straight blade connected by a rod to activate the proper triggers sear at the rear. At present the trigger is in brass but i want to change that to stainless. I was given a price of £90 to make it. Is that a bit steep or the going rate? I am also looking to change the brass barrel/ stock band b&m fitted on their bullpup set ups and also in stainless. So is £90 for tbe trigger alone high? He wanted the same to make the barrel band also. Feedback appreciated. Chris

    Can you have a go yourself using the original as a template, bit of grinding, filing & drilling. Or maybe you could modify something from 'Rowan Engineering'. Bespoke stuff is usually expensive unless mates rates are involved.

    Who gave you the price ?

    If it's a business then one off items cost them money for setting up the machinery then making it .

    His hourly rate too.

    More items will have lower costs as there is more to sell.

    Price seems quite low for machining a one off stainless part, considering what the previous poster said, and that the machinist has to measure up the original part and make a sketch for all dimensions.
