That depends. Original barrels are expected and can be expected to fetch the best price possible.
If the prior barrels were too damaged to use, then the replacement is an improvement.
If the prior barrels were composite (e.g. “Damascus”), in good condition, and replaced for the sake of safety when EVERYONE was afraid of that kind of barrel but we know more now - then in my mind the replacement will be worth less or be neutral on value; depending on the buyer.
Never know unless the old barrels are found. And old barrels do get found here. There is a running discussion here for “lost & found”.
New barrels & value
