I have a blued late 70's .357 blackhawk with a 6.5" barrel. I'm kicking around the idea of having the barrel taken down to 4 5/8" and having the billboard removed. Also possibly having a Super hammer installed as well. Any idea on what I can expect to pay for quality work like this?
 
Pretty simple job but will need rebluing. Hot blue triples the cost because you have to pull the barrel to hot reblue.
I've done several with sight soldered back on or put on with screw like single sixes. $45 with address removed, entire barrel polished and cold blued with Brownell's Oxpho blue. $35 without removing address.
$150 to remove and hot blue.

I have also cut barrels and turned the address underneath. The ejector attachment screw hole ends up hidden under the front sight. Then drill and tap new ejec screw hole. No need to reblue barrel.
