For a quality, but not classic, O/U, is it better from a value standpoint to repair or replace cracked/broken furniture? I have a Beretta Diamond Pigeon with a crack in the stock at the wrist.
I am sure a good gunsmith can repair it quite well, and I've been told that for quality guns replacing the original wood lowers the value. OTOH the DP is still in production, so new DPs with new wood are readily available. The cost to replace is not much more than a top quality repair, so the bigger issue to me would be how the value is affected. I appreciate any advice from experienced hands. Thanks.
