Hi all, I know there are several schools of thought on this, but I'd just like to hear what you all think.

What are your thoughts on restoring/refinishing a gun to make it cosmetically more attractive. Talking here about stock refinish, recheckering, reblacken bbls and re-case coloring.

I'm only speaking here of shooters, no collector grade guns.

Also, do you think a restored gun adds value (if the buyer knows it's been restored) or decreases its value?

For me, if it's done right and looks good, I'm all in favor.

Your thoughts?

All the best!

Greg
