As to being the current custodian of a fine vintage gun or rifle I fully agree with the above sentiments.

It is my habit to treat them with as much or more care as the original owner. With enough time and considering the possible expense I do my best to, on occasion with special rifles that need attention, have an expert bring them back to a condition that will last another 150 years. Sympathetic restoration/clean up just as the English gunmakers did for their customers over the years.

Whomever was ignorant enough to beat up the A&N .360 certainly needs to be horsewhipped………or attached to the "Tucker Telephone" (and not just wired to the big toes)
