I would do it, if it were mine and I cared about keeping it original. I don't consider it an extreme repair.

An acquaintance of mine once had a nickel plated .357 Colt Python revolver that shaved bullets every time it fired...You could see the copper/lead shooting sideways out of the cylinder to barrel gap...He wanted to correct it, but the timing seemed OK...I told him that re-cutting the forcing cone should help, but he never 'got around to it'...
