So when an old Winchester is redone buy one of the BIG NAME restorers it is worth less than if it hadn't been touched.....how do those guys stay in business ???? Or is it just RUGERS that lose value....I DO realize that a 100 % untouched gun is worth more than a restored gun all being equal....BUT once again there is a lot of difference in the words RESTORED and REDONE or REBLUED.... I am with TA on this...I have a few RE's that Rugerguy has painstakingly RESTORED for me.....Dan did this as a favor to me AND the pistol ........why leave them in a state of disrepair with no real value....how can making them look original make them worth less.....an everyday model is not a candidate for a restoration but early numbered and or rare variations are another thing........of course if I happened upon # 15 Single Six I think I would leave it in it's beat up, well used shape....so there are considerations for everything.....nothing is ever clear cut :lol: :lol: :lol: JMO and once again it is worth what ya paid for it
