Well, like you just said, theyre shooters, they arent looking for compliments.

Im with SKB on this one. The previous owner did what they had to do to get the gun to shoot somewhere in the vicinity that they needed it to. Even if the gun was bought at 1/2 the price, restocking is going to cost more than the gun is worth. Once you decide to restock, youre at the point of no return, monetary return that is. Unless youre doing the work yourself.
If youre buying shooter grade guns, youre just gonna have to live with some of bumps, bruises and add-ons that come with them.
