[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 1682229, member: 6777"] Depends not only the particular gun and its condition, but also who is doing the work. Dished out screw holes,blurred lettering,rounded edges that are not supposed to be rounded all from somebody that got overzealous with a buffing wheel will look bad no matter have bad the gun was in the first place. If you go for a refinish you may be best off with a person that specializes in the particular model you have. Above all look at many examples of their work. I've seen guys who are cheap and do fantastic work and some who are expensive and looks like crap. Also I would go for a factory type finish if possible. What this means is if a H&R singleshot came from the factory with a240 grit sanded finish it will probably look like crap with a 1000 grit high gloss - glow in the dark blue job that belongs on a weatherby. At the same time I would not want a cheap sandblast finish on a Perrazi $5000 shotgun. [/QUOTE]
