I wouldn’t discount a factory rejuvenation one iota if quality factory work. I have such a gun knowing it had gone back to the factory before I made the purchase. A factory rejuvenation would be worth more than a non-factory rejuvenation imho.
Factory or non factory wouldn't make a damn bit of difference to me. It's the quality, not the source as far as I'm concerned. I'm always amused at folks that would pay more for a gun with factory engraving than one with better 3rd party work. Ditto for any other feature. I guess I buy the gun, not the originality.
Factory records have value….no matter what you think.
I suppose they do in some way. But why? Certainly factory records are interesting in their own right, but I'm not sure how they add value to a gun, realistically.
If a gun is restocked by the maker, is that somehow better than if it was restocked by a quality craftsman? Not to me. I'll buy the better gun, not the factory gun. I realize not everyone feels the same way, but I just don't know why.
