A friend called me this week to see if would be interested in buying a Purdey that came into his shop. It's on consignment, the owner is asking $6900.00 for it. A bargain, right ,well, the mechanics are great. The gun is tight. The ejectors, triggers,and safety are fine. The chambers are still 2 1/2 inches. I didn't see any pitting in the barrels.
But,
The stock is broken and very rough.
The barrels have a few minor dents and need reblued.
The engraving needs picked up.
The case color is gone.
What be be an approximate cost for a total redo here in the states ?
Since it is a Purdey should the renovation be done by Purdey ?
I walked away from it but am now having second thoughts.
opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dave
