Re: Restoration Question

So my follow on question to this is an "opinion question". What is the feeling on restorations? Obviously, an untouched rifle would better retain its value, but from there? Would you be changing the value of the rifle too much by polishing/rebluing? How much is too much? Would changing barrel length be going too far? Going from a half stock to a full stock? I would imagine finding a dual trigger to replace a single trigger or vice-versa would not be too big a deal, but other changes?

I'm just curious what various peoples opinion on this subject are. In the above case, if the barrel and rifling were good, but there was pitting along the end of the barrel, it seems like cutting it down would be understandable, and then of course a full stock would be reasonable. I'm wondering what people feel about such changes.

Thanks for your insights.
