To install the dust cover on the bolt of a 742 the gun must be completely disassembled. This would include removing the forearm, all of the gas/ action parts inside the forearm, removing the barrel, and finally getting to the bolt. It isn't simply a matter of sticking one on the bolt.

$25.00 was more than fair for installing a dust cover on a 742.

We charge $35.00 to clean a gun and $60.00 per hour for general labor and $80.00 for labor plus machine time and $15 to test fire

Had I worked on it you would have been $15 poorer than you are now cause I would have test fired it before you got it back.

What did you expect him to do. Work for free??????? His time is just as valuable as yours. Looks like your smith did you just fine but you're mad that you actually had to pay for it. [:@][:'(][:@][:'(][:@]

I guess you would expect a mechanic to work on your car for free also?
