absolutley nothing wrong with that, I like it when one is saved from wearing away.

When I did a lot of French and Indian war reenacting met I one of the founding four of the Vintagers, he was actually a pretty talented gunsmith (got to handle a 20 bore double flintlock fowler he built new - really nice) - he laughingly called his process "bottom feeding"
