I have had three guns either or all of the following - restocked, engraved and rebuilt for my shooting. I also enjoyed doing some of the work. All were in very poor shape when I started the project so I upgraded the guns. Since they are for my shooting they are only valuable to me. If my kids sell them, they will not be worth the improvements I put in them. Hence, if you plan to keep the gun and shoot it, I'd make the inprovements. However, Do not touch a valuable American colector gun, it will destroy the value.

Currently own two Morgan cars. Starting on Black Powder hunting to advoid the mob of riflemen.
