Yup, but that's big "as long as". I have gotten my take on that annual freshening by reading UK auction catalogs that are full of top maker guns with caveats like "wall thickness below recommended minimums" and the dreaded "only stock and action available, barrels out of proof". I don't believe all of those guns got that way at the corner gunsmith. These guns look great but the strikers are heavy handed even knowing that the gun will be back for blacking in a couple of years.
