Ed: we all get that you post for your own malicious entertainment, but to review:
1. Tom specifically asked about the risk of damage to a horn tip while refinishing a stock.
2. He did not ask for our/your opinion about refinishing stocks.
3. YOU said "refinishing 130 year old wood with patina is a sin"

How did you direct your master gunsmith to refinish this stock? It was clearly stripped of the original finish. Was it his idea to pound the doll's head to tighten the action?



Please stop and I will most thankfully do the same.
