Similar situation I have- I've got GH that has a cracked stock that has already been repaired, barrels are ok, but I wanted the barrels Refinished to bring out the pattern. I've got much less into the gun on the initial purchse, but by the time the stock gets repaired to stabilize it, barrels refinished and a couple odds and ends done I'll be into it for probably 16-1700. Maybe too much. I can see myself at some point in the future restocking it, getting the receiver recolored and never getting that investment back but really enjoying it.
Yes- definitely worth it to me. One more really beautiful old gun that will be passed on to my son who will hopefully be using it as it was intended 60 or 70 years from now.
