Yep. I asked Gournet what the engraving cost was to upgrade a Sterly to a C grade and it was over 3K and that was a while ago. That doesn't include sculpting the breech balls, safety reshaping, remarking barrels, etc etc. Nor upgrading the wood. You can burn through 6K in a hurry.


And after all of this money, it will still remain an upgrade, not near the value of an original in my opinion, I'm sorry, a "rusty original".
