It’s simple work in engineering terms but much of the cost is in knowing which bits to tweak and then doing it with a final finish way better than that from the factory while covering the r&d time and making a profit, let’s face it there are no tuners running Ferrari’s
I have seen many sublime shooting home modified guns that look like a bag of nails as well as loads more that have been absolutely ruined by well meaning amateurs.
People paying the professionals keeps money going into new r&d driving things forwards but essentially the amateur with a lathe can achieve 95% of the same results.
