Aftre years of owning various mostly vintage guns, I see myself as the custodian.

I now look at guns that have been abused and wonder why someone didn't just buy a modern gun they liked instead of cutting slots into the muzzle end of a DR to control recoil and to regulate the barrels; bobbing barrels, stripping actions from rifles, reloading BPE as if they were "magnums".

Of course, some butchering was done when the guns were considered as merely obsolute but the vintage double rifle that had its barrels ported was done in the past 15 years. The seller of the formerly very nice Army & Navy 360 BPE DR explained that he was getting ~ 2300 fps with 200 gr bullets and near the end, siad the action was peened - the hinge pin was peened to bring iyt back on face.
