Quote:
In my opinion the locks and action are best left alone. Some restorers insist on a full re-case colour hardening of the lock-plates and action. I think it is a mistake. Now, restoration is a personal thing, but as a professional, my job is to guide the customer towards what I believe is tasteful work. If he doesnt buy-in to my ideas, he is better off going elsewhere.


Excellent article Jon. The above quote pretty well sums up my stand on "Re-Coloring" guns. I don't have mine re-colored.
