Dave, I understand what you mean and I agree however, there are exceptions to every rule.
Let's take, hypothetically, an extremely nice, high grade Parker that might have been put away without scrubbing out the bores after shooting black powder all day and it sat for perhaps several decades until an heir found the gun. He appreciated it for what it was and in an uneducated way, honed all the terrible pits out of it but by doing so, rendered the barrel walls too thin to shoot safely. A beautiful Parker reduced to wallhanger status. Would such a gun warrant the investment of Teague liners? In my opinion, a resounding "Yes".
