I know that there are some out there that do not care for restoring colors. I have been told "why spend hundreds of dollars on something that is just gonna start wearing off in 4 years again".
Personally, I think that having it done is a fine line in judgement. Obviously it is a perfect complement to new wood work or new bluing, especially if both are done. But I think that if a receiver is evenly worn to a nice clean patina or silvered finish, just leave it. Unless the worn receiver looks ugly as due to rust or something, I think it would look just great as original.
