Looking at a possible project gun, its a Monson 44 mag. Â Its been shot a good bit and has a nice turn ring, and the star appears worn down, comparing it to my other 44s its thinner. There is also some slop in the cylinder when in full lockup. Â My question, can a new star be ordered and installed DIY or is it a fitted process with the hand also? Â If this is a gunsmith or factory job, what would a ballpark price estimate be on something like that? Â
I can get the gun cheap but don't want to spend a ton to get it back in shape.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

If the star has worn thin from shooting then there would be a lot of
end shake, unless of course someone already shimmed the front of
cylinder.

Scorpio,
  The 2009 parts list has the extractor assembly listed at $48.95 and it says it is a factory install item. If it was me, I would call Keith at Dan Wesson, and ask for a price for him to do it. That would give you the high end $ figure to work off of. I think it would require some fitting.
  Or if you get it and the gun still shoots fine, it could be a good shooter even with the wear.
