Well, i dont think i can completely answer your question as it is a matter of opinion i suppose. I dont usually discuss pricing, but the cost to the customer on this job was just over $500. $200 of that was parts (new joint and bolt). I have heard some shops charging as high as $1,000 to put a gun back on face. And if i need to tig weld a hook and refit, everything, i notmally charge $500 anyway. So it is 6 of one/half a dozen of the other maybe.
There are some cases where swapping the roll joint is not a good opton at all, like in the case of adding a second barrel set where the original one fits fine.
As for shim on the hook, i guess it is just the difference between doing something and doing it right.
