To Refinish or Not To Refinish
Hi All, I have an Inland carbine kit that I put together and I'm wondering if I should have it reparked or not. I know it will have no collecter value so I'm thinking a repark so all the parts match. Also who could I send it off to have it built. The only thing really to do is to barrel and head space receiver, press the rear and front sights on.
I always prefer original finish regardless of condition
After watching these antique shows and seeing people cut values in half by refinishing, it makes a person at least stop and think. I look at all the ruined Lugers, nickle plated Colts, and wonder why people would do this stuff.
I supposed for a shooter with a lot of rust, I might think about a repark, but it would have to be something other than the light grey that some people do. It just comes down to personal preference; some people view finish as the most important aspect of a firearm.
