I had a buddy send his Purdey to Purdey for sprucing up. He felt like a spruce tree fell on top of him after he got the bill. The bill was 50% of his low 5 figures' original cost. According to him, there was nothing that he considered major done to the gun. No re-stocking, re-barreling, etc.


Ouch! He should have gotten a quote up front.

I'm better off not owning one like that. Actually, my most expensive gun is a 3" chambered Super Fox in about 80+% condition. It hunts ducks and geese. I just don't need to own one I can't feel comfortable hunting with. I keep toying with the idea of one day ordering a CSMC Fox. If I ever do, it will acquire patina. I promise you.
