I imagine that a lot of you get it done for free because you're buddies with a gunsmith, and the process really only involves inserting and testing gauges (so far as I know).
But provided that you weren't how much would you expect to pay?
In price-gouge land, America (otherwise known as Miami Florida), the only people in my vicinity seem to want to charge me 30$ for a headspace inspection. Perhaps this is just me, but it seems a little absurd; for that price I think I would rather just buy a field gauge myself! If I intend to buy more 8mm Mausers in the future I imagine it would be a prude investment.
