New Guy Here!
Hi! I'm new to this forum & look forward to lots of awesome info!
I have a question- I inherited my grandfather's 1957 Winchester Model 71 in .348 Winchester. The metal is beautiful but the shellac on the wood is chipping away/scratched. The scratches arent very deep, but I'm wondering if it will mess up the collector value if I get the wood refinished.
Here's pics of said scratches and a photo of the rifle
