As long as it's not a restoration, why the factory dimensions? Why not more shootable, modern dimensions?

As for what the market will bear, you'll have to put them up on an auction website and see what they bring.

I know of a factory refinished field grade NID 12ga that's been sitting in a shop for several months now priced at $1300. Gun is stamped "R" which Walt tells me was Ithaca's stamp for "redone". Looks like a 98% gun with case color, wood and blue all near perfect.

These guns will sell as shooters but not collectors.

My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
