I have had several classic American SxS's restored/refinished, and in one instance, restocked. All have turned out well, and I've been pleased with the results.

Carrying and using a classis SxS shotgun in excellent condition is a very pleasant experience. Whether that condition is 100% original, or not, isn't important to me.

Likewise, I don't hesitate to have chokes opened, if it will make the gun more useful to me.
