Just my opinion, but, aren't most of the better British guns refinished/refurbished by the guns maker, in most cases, as opposed to some of the non-professional ( restorers ) that attempt to "pretty up " some trashed out guns that show up for sale from time to time over here? Thin barrels are another matter but I doubt that the better British "gunmakers" would re-bore a barrel to the point that it would not pass proof, and then send it along to its owner. Independent gunsmiths, however, may have a different take on the matter of thinning the barrels to clean up the bore of a customers gun.
Refurbishment, to me, is not a problem as long as it is done tastefully and the safety of the gun is not compromised.
