It's kinda like an otherwise perfect '65 Rolls Silver Cloud III with a Chevy 350 in it. It may be gorgeous, run great and be reliable, but it'll never be concours, nor will it ever be worth anywhere near concours price.

Then why post a question as to it's value? You're the owner of the gun, but you don't know for sure that it's still in proof, let alone if the barrels are original or not. Since you "beleive" that "so and so said" trumps a well - informed buyer, then perhaps you should sell it to "so and so".
