Regarding value, sure from a purist's point of view for the seldom seen Modell V, yeah it would decrease in value but if the original tubeset has been compromised, then the longarm could only have been brought forward by pairing the frame w/ a fluid steel tubeset counter part. Few would every know that the original tubeset is absent & that's how it has gotten this far. One has the best of both world's being the original frame w/ superior quality & components and a fluid steel counterpart for the tubeset, less Sauer's shooting performance. Maybe for an optimum condition, Kettner should have sourced Sauer for the additional tubeset?
