Perhaps the best that anyone can do under the circumstances is to continue to post such examples of hacked, and possibly dangerously destructive work, to edify and inform the the gun-buying public.
The power of info [or mis-info] on the 'Net is not always rapid in it's accumulation. But, accumulate it does. Just check the level of DG info that is common knowledge now, to browsers of this forum.
Eventually, knowledge of such malpractice and ignorance [willful or blind] does make it's way around to those willing to inform themselves. For those who buy such pigs in lipstick and fishnet hose, they may never know the difference -- or may eventually become better educated and NOT have such fond memeories of having been taken.
Then again, a gun that has been mistreated by a "restoration" to the point of dangerous physical condition is a legal timebomb, just ticking away for said 'mecanik'.
Case in point: how many folks here would now shop the famous supplier of "a collection of near mint A.H.Fox guns, just found in an Executive's closet, stored since WW2" without a GREAT deal of caution and a severe examination of the goods?
Word gets around.
