Hi all, I also have no problems or issues with sleeved guns...I own a couple and they are just fine if the work is done correctly as stated by O.C. But, it seems like the OP is looking for an investment grade gun. If that's the case then sleeved bbls will take a major hit on resale. But for a shooter, hard to go wrong for either price or in most cases worry free bbls.

Also here in the states, a No Name Best gun will not bring the resale value as will a "Big" name maker. Just the market here.

Of course these are just my opinions.

Fun post BTW!

All the best!
