Default Restoration cost estimate?

I have a 12 gauge reproduction with 28" barrels choked mod/full, and an English stock/splinter forend. I know a reproduction DHE obviously isn't worth what an original DHE is, but since I only have $1,000 into the gun I've been thinking about having some work done once the seaosn is over.

The stock has various dings and scratches that I'd like repaired and the checkering on the stock needs to be recut, checkering on the forend still looks ok. Would like barrels reblued and possibly the receiver case coloring redone as well. So basically a "restoration" I suppose.

What would be a ballpark figure I'd be looking at paying for this much work?

I intend on doing my 28ga. repro over also, but I'm sending my wood to Chris Dawe because I prefer the shape of the Meriden comb and more slender forened. Chris has a good handle on the early comb shape.

Brad did the CC on a gun for me a while back, nitre blued the guard, and redid the damascus barrels. I think that was $1250, but it was a few years ago.
