So, after 70 bench hours, much of it spent on the ejectors according to the 'smith himself, the ejectors are still Tango Uniform (of course, that's all ejectors on a double rifle are good for anyway!). Sorry, but that's just beyond The Pale. At this point, pending the evaluation of a gunmaker, I'd give the "restoration" work done a value of zero, possibly less (IMO, he reduced the value by dovetailing the hook). Arrange to get the inspection period extended and the gun sent to a pro, or put that pooch back in her kennel and send her home.

Given your description of the condition of the original barrels, I would have said that $17k might be a fair price, but the dovetailed hook really bothers me. To me, the new barrels would offer considerable utility value, but add little to market value.
