LG - as current condition goes up, so does the price. As original quality goes up, so does the price. The price of pricy guns is impacted by such things as replaced barrels and restocking. Brit guns are not an exception. I agree that lower priced guns, which will be of lower CC and/or lower OQ, will be much less impacted by such changes. Indeed, we arrive at a point of OQ and CC where restoration may well improve the value. But, it is very difficult to actually improve the resale value of a restored gun to more than the price of the gun plus restoration costs - American, Brit, or Continental.
