Depending on the quality of the refinish work, it is somewhere between a minimum of a 50% value deduction all the way down to a 100% value deduction.  The serious collectors will not want it at any price.  Believe it or not, it most likely would have had more value if it had been left alone, as there are some that like the looks of an old well worn Winchester.

I signed up as a member, how long does it take to be in effect? My account says full member  

When did you sign up for a WACA membership?  Have you received a package with your membership number yet?

No, I just signed up and paid online earlier today.  

OK, you should see a package in the mail by the end of the week.  When it arrives, send me a PM with your membership number so that I can find it in the system and change the Permission levels accordingly.  In the meantime, you can send the pictures to me at – [email protected]
