M66 stock repair

[StockDoc]

Oooops, brought up another of my pet peeves - whizzing up an old gun to look brand-spanking NEW. No matter how exquisite the craftsmanship, and he does gorgeous work, I simply don't care for the practice/concept, but, not my gun, not my money, so, not my choice to make.

I agree, I much prefer to keep an old gun original. But their work is pleasing to the eye. However I do see problems for the future buyer. Was just at the Smithsonian and the NRA museum and still drool at the thought of those original firearms.

Everyone who has an old original rifle isn`t interested in keeping it to make $$ on it some day. They want it to look new or make to there liking & shoot it because it`s there rifle & they can.

Do you think that one would be safe to shot? Me, I have no idea if it is or not. But, if I wanted a Trapdoor to shoot, I would by a rifle in better shape. I do understand his position though, of bringing it back into shape.

Making money has nothing whatsoever to with it, though for every idiot that whizzes his gun, mine goes up a few cents. Of course it is theirs, and they can do whatever they want to it, but, but I like to think that collecting and conserving has evolved, and we either don't do the stupid things we used to do in '50s, or we don't do them as much.
