[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 811383, member: 423"] Yeah, I'd agree with that, mostly. I just don't get some people making such a big deal about refinishing an older gun. IE, if it was my grandpa's gun, and I remember it being perfect, then some other relative got it, let it go downhill, even if it was just a few smaller scratches, I'd want to return it to the way I remembered it with grandpa. Or, if I'd wanted a deep gloss blued 5" 27 for years and years, and finally found one that was somewhat worn for a reasonable price, why not get it refinished? That's the way I wanted it! Sure, if you ever think you'd resell it, keep it original, it's worth more that way. But if no one customized/restored guns, then, well, that would just be sad. I mean, I'd love to own a fantasticly deep blued high bloss S&W model 29 4" P&R, but I sure can't afford the prices they demand. And, I wasn't around when they were made. The only way I'll probably ever own one that is "like new" is if I restore one. Besides, if I paid $1500 for a like new 29, I'd never want to carry or shoot it. [/QUOTE]
