Regardless of whether there are a bunch of other guns out there with renumbered barrels, it doesn't change the argument. Our jails are full of people who could easily point out that they were not the first to commit their crime.
As for the idea that it's OK 'as long as you tell the buyer'....that's great for that particular transaction. But these guns have long lives, longer than most of us. Once it's been bought and sold a few times the fact that it was renumbered becomes lost.
