Fitting a new stock to a vintage rifle took ages, and it's still off by a hair.

Nah, that's perfect! A vintage rifle should have a little character, not look like a factory new part.

Ugh, I totally disagree! A real piece of history should be kept as close to original as possible, not worn down. That "character" is just damage someone didn't fix.

Some wear wrecks the value though @mitchell.avery

Oh man, that's not really how it works... Value depends on the collector. Some guys want a perfect museum piece, others pay more for honest wear from real use. That "damage" tells the gun's story, and a lot of us find that way more interesting than something that sat in a safe forever.
