Gnomon:
Same with replaced or sleeved barrels as long as the gun's balance has been maintained.

Handling dimensions, weight, balance, unmounted swing effort, and mounted swing effort, are to handling as stock dimensions are to stock fit. One looks for a gun that has fit and handlind dimensions that suit the individual. A gun could be "ruined" by handling dimension changes resulting from sleeving/tubing/rebarreling for one person and dramatically improved for another. If the barrels were sleeved/tubed/rebarreled for reason of wear (think thin barrel walls), then it is sure that the original set of handling dimensions had already been altered. The handling desired after repair may or may not be as the gun was when new.
