If a gun is owned by 10 or 12 people there is a decent chance that somewhere along the way someone will want to make "improvements." They might cut the barrels, cut the stock, blue the receiver, add a white line pad, hog out the chambers, sand down the stock, etc, etc. A huge percentage of vintage guns have been "upgraded." The temptation to tinker can be strong and I am not immune... fight the urge.
