While we are at it, how does rechambering a vintage Parker shotgun affect value? I would think with a "shooter" it would enhance value, but a high grade nearly mint gun it would hurt value. How about your standard VH grades with above average condition, or even a DHE?

I would never, under any circumstances, alter the chambers of a good old double gun, regardless of whether it is collector condition or a just plain shooter. There is never a good reason to do so where another remedy would solve the perceived 'problem'.
