Cost of barrel swap..S&W 500

[magoo]

Anybody have an idea of what SW charges for replacing a 8+" barrel with a 4" barrel.

THANKS

In July last year I contacted S&W for a price on replacing a barrel on a Model 17. I was quoted a price of about 1 hour labor at $65 per hour, plus $14 shipping, plus the price of the barrel. The barrel for the Model 17 was about $260. A Model 500 barrel is probably a lot more. I hope this helps.

I would think you'd be money ahead to solicit for a swap (+/- cash) on a complete gun or sell yours and buy one.
