well, perhaps part of performing professional work is to anticapate potential problems that may surface later on...
better to check for and fix regulation problems if necessary, while the barrels are being rejoined, rather than running the risk of having to deal with an unhappy customer later on...
and if the cost of re regulation is factored in as part of the re laying job, then getting paid should be no issue...however, if the work has to be done after the fact, one may encounter difficulty in getting paid...
why not do the extra work now, impress the customer with your knowledge and professionalism, get paid for your time and expertise and create a happy cutomer, who is then likely to refer you for similar work...
i have a nice old english hammer gun that needs the ribs relayed...when choosing a smith to do the work, i would hope barrel re regulation would be offered as part of the overall project...
