If I had a '73 that had been owned by Cochise and used in many a' battle back in the day and had a stock he had carved out of one of Custers wagons with a knapped knife and multiple dings and marks that were the result of him chasing buffalo across the prairie and taking some falls in the process, I'd leave it as is. If it has a stock carved from a pc of wooden fence plank by a Kansas farmer in 1950 and it looks like hell and has other operational issues that would make it unsafe, unreliable or shorten it's life and I wanted to shoot it, I'd unapologetically give it the full monty treatment and bring it back to life if I chose to. If the gun continues to be used, no one will notice or care 100yrs down the road.
