It would be so much more warm and sentimental if the guy did the restoration/upgrade of such a gun himself. He would therefore pour his heart and soul in such an endeavor. Dependence upon others and delegating all that responsibility to others providing only money, to restore or buy and sell 100 guns for profit, just seems so cold, and only a utilitarian venture for the profiteer. Sad really, diminishing the purity of the originality of the factory produced highly graded piece for profit.....and now theres another high grade gun thats not factory original. Sorry, but of course, thats only my humble opinion.

Socialism is almost the worst.
