"Guns with case hardening redone are avoided entirely, mostly because I don't like case colors and partly because I don't want to take the time to assess possible warping or loss of strength caused by inapproprate recasing."

My sentiments, too. When I lost my benchmark SW in capsize and retrived it from six fathoms of salt water six months later, I sent it to a consummate gunsmith to restore it except for case-colouring.The gun was no longer original anyway.

When it's passed down to my gunning nephew sans cc, it's part of the story we share of the time we went under in a tide-rip an hour before daylight during a snow squall 200 metres from a rocky North Atlantic Shore
