My opinion on restorations has always been: I would rather have an original with 0% finish, than restored example." Now that I have said that, I've got Thor working an a 1900AE at this moment (my first restoration) -- but that was a gun missing the take down and a few other parts. So, in my little mind, I say to myself "these are just parts I'm having put together"...

I now modify my stance. After viewing this weapon. My new standard shall be: "dicked up requires fix up". I would consider cleaning the grips without recutting and restoring the metal.

Fixing a messed-up fix on a sub-par gun (i.e. barely in the 'collectability' range, due to condition), should not be viewed as desecrating old bones.
