Anyone have a general idea on what it might cost to have a barrel cut back a couple of inches, recrowned then reblued while re-installing the factory front site ? ( will they have to reblue the whole barrel or just the tip???? )

Usually you can get a barrel cut for the price of recrowning it. About 25-30 bucks.
Rates for drilling and tapping run about $20 a hole give or take. You can smear a bit of cold blue on the muzzle, its going to burn off in a few shots anyway just like the factory blueing does.

Total cost might depend on how the work is performed. Hacksaw, file, and use a piloted hand tool is pretty fast. Set the barrel up on the lathe, indicate the bore in, and then crown is going to cost more. Remounting a screwed on front sight ramp can be a pita.

How much generally to cut a few inches off, thread for chokes, and reinstall the bead?
