ugly? I have a project PH that has gold gilding on part of the fore-end metal
worse yet is that the fore-end is not serial numbered to the gun- so no telling how bad the whole gun it came from would have looked pimp'ed up

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.

My all time favorite is the Dremel-pencilled SSN diagonally across the floorplate, especially on smallbores!

I once had a CHE 12ga 30" barreled gun that someone had used a torch to color the receiver. It wasn't too bad looking actually. What made me sell the gun was a large duck flying across the bottom of the floorplate with a big silly smile on it's beak. It's head was angled slightly enough that it looked like the duck was glancing back and laughing at me after I had missed the shot. I quickly grew tired of the humiliation and sold it.
