Anyway..

I received the invoice today from a reputable.company, and the price was astronomical, does 487 for 2x bolts being fluted seem wrong to you.

Did you get a quote from the specific company you went with before you sent it?

That seems about $200 overpriced for two bolts- I think Gunworks is $140 a bolt.

That's what I would of expected... worse case 170 per bolt.... but 246 a bolt is a bit of a kick in the nuts. I thought I got quotes off everyone... but couldnt find the one i ended up sending them to. I hope they are done well and polished for that price.
