Agreed. The patina a weapon accrues is part of its history and I have never removed it to date. In the case of my Chassepot, I should have stated that it was salvaged sporter. When I restock the weapon, the barre band locations moved back to their original positions on the barrel leaving areas of "white." To remedy this, I decided to go all white and bring the weapon close to "as issued." Thanks, Randy
