Not shunning, just a thought. You may not care about the effect on value but a great grandson may look at it and say why did he do that? As stated, it's pretty much a lateral move in utility.
I have my great grandfather's 1886 that a great uncle had rebored from 40/65 to 45/70. I am not sure the reason, whether it was bad pitting or ammo availability but I sure wish it had been re-lined and not bored. I would change it back but they re-stamped it. I cherish it none the less but still would like to have had it original.
