affect on resale of refinishing or restocking.
#80938 - 19/06/07 01:27 PM

Hello all,
I have a 1903 era double that is mechanically in great shape and shoots very well but it came out of Africa many years ago and the stock is very worn. I have a good stock maker who could refinish or restock the gun. If I decide to refinish or re- stock the gun will that decrease resale/value of the gun, since it will no longer be original? I apologize if this has been beaten to death at some point in the past.

A good refinish will not ruin the value. An average one will and a poor one will destroy it.

There are very, very few stockmakers in the US that know how to and have the talent to restock a Double rifle.

Be very careful of whom you choose.
