The makeovers suggested in this forum are in most cases necessary, but go well beyond the level of repair or conservation into restoration and rebuilding. Work of this nature should be undertaken responsibly, and only when the gun is not otherwise shootable.
Remember, we are only the temporary custodians of these historical rifles. They were here for a century before us, and with proper care, will be firing a century after we are gone.
