I have a three digit serial number Deerstalker 44 Carbine that functions and shoots great. But th previous owner somehow completely wore the finish off the barrel. The stock has also been buggered by the addition of sling swivel holes. And they even messed up the first try and drilled a second forward hole. The finish is wearing thin in the obvious spots. I am contemplating having the gun professionally reblued to factory original specs , or as close as possible. First, please tell me that any collectibility of this gun is ruined by the poor finish and wood condition and my rebluing idea is okay. Second, where should I send the gun to have the work done right?
