Ted thinks he knows everything, and has never entertained the policy of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". He's also judicious and duly diligent by an exponent of 3. So listen to him and spend a lot of money on unnecessary work.

But it doesn't need a refinish or a workover, just a little tlc like a good bore scrub, a toothbrush solvent scrub of the action and ribs, some hinge pin grease. If something breaks or fails, have it seen about. When I said "leave it alone and shoot it", it meant refrain from destroying character and patina.
