This question reappears often enough and the originality gun is the final consensus. It is a straight forward answer comparing a "benchmark" gun price to a gun completely restored to original specs. 50% seems like a big discount considering the craftsmanship and expense to restore a well used gun to something close to new.

Is any restoration acceptable (i.e., barrels reblued correctly or stock refinish) for adding value to the gun? A lot of people stay away from recase coloring the action.
