    Yeah Thats why I price my work the way I do and there is no negotiation. Like it or lump I don't work for free. And I've pissed a bunch of people off refusing to budge. I spent the better part of thirty years developing my skill set and acquiring experience and tools. If they want it cheep Sure there are cut rate shops out there with novices working the machines and the quality shows.

    I've got enough good paying customers that I don't need to undercut myself just to show a few bucks in my hand.

      After doing a few lowers myself I have had friends pay me 80 dollars just because they know how much work I put into them. Knowing what's involved and the cost with consumables 80 bux is a great deal. Obviously if your doing more than one part the same color you could spread the costs out for a couple buddies and everyone is happy.

        That's good practice.

                  Dark Titanium from Live Fire Industries located in Bellflower.

                  Looks really good in person. Kinda has the old gray Colt color and blends well with the black colored stock & handguard.

                  Had the upper, lower, triggerguard and delta ring coated.

                  Handguard and stock used to be FDE, but I used rit dye to make them a faded black color.
                  The pistol grip is a LaRue A-Peg in factory black.

                  I will be going back for other work
