In a sense, it made it MORE valuable to you. But I understand the reluctance to do that. For me, it depends on each gun. Opening up an 8 lb gun to Sk/IC would be hard for me to justify, but a gun as tight as the BSS under consideration, not a problem - for me. I would not view it as a collectible, and it would be a nice upland hunting gun with a bit loser chokes.
