I can stand a lot of ugly on a hunting gun as long as it shoots where I point it. Guns who reside in the safe and are show and tell peices better look good and not embarass me. Since I do much of my own work I probably don"t wait as long as most to address an iissue. Finally, I once saw an american double that had the wood refiniished and the receiver recased, the work was high quality, however, the damascus barrels were left with there original finish. In my opinion the gun deserved a place in the back of the gun safe where I didn't have to look at it.
