LoL, Patrick. I'm not feeling tweaked a bit and rather enjoy a good discussion.

A rifle in the wrap, as Peter suggested, is more than likely a 100% Fazakerely produced rifle which doesn't fit the argument. Now, if Peter were to say fit a rifle with parts that were subcontractor marked it would be hard to tell if it didn't leave the arsenal that way originally because that was how it was done, correct ? But, if Peter fitted a Longbranch marked bolt to a BSA rifle, well, I would have to say it didn't leave the arsenal like that originally and would certainly devalue it.
