Do you think it would be justified to spend 4-5 K to do a first rate sleeving job on a AYA Senior ( Purdey style locks) 12 ga shotgun? The ribs are brazed, so they would be destroyed in the removal and would need to be replaced with non- original ribs.
If the original gun could be bought” right” , would the final product price be justified as a “ rare” gun restoration, with appropriate value, or would the sleeved end result be considered just another Spanish sidelock?
Thank you for you responses in advance.
Best regards,
