There is a local dealer who has done some work on my guns in the past. We have always had a good relationship but now there is a problem.
I asked him to cut 5 Uzi Mags for use in an AR15. This was back in late May. He finally got them done this last week and I went by to get them on Friday. He was not in but the guy that worked for him was. He called the owner to find out the total and was told $75.00.
His reasoning is that he had to buy new Cutting dies. My thoughts on this is that
A: if he did not have the tools to do the work he should not have taken the job.
and
B: He should have let me know he was going to have to purchase new tools and informed me this would increase the cost.
Am I being unreasonable here? 15 bucks per mags seems like a Lot for the machining work that needs to be done.
