Even worse, I know a gunsmith that rebuilt an 1886 Winchester in 45-70 that was in a fire, also a Lee Navy sporter. They had both been cooked and had the forend completely burned away, he carried on and completely re did them and re blued them. They're out there now for those that want to shoot them, they'll never know. I had a Rem 870 go through me that didn't seem right and I could get the smell of charring on occasion from the gun. Seems it went through a fire and the gunsmith parted it out, receiver and all. This was a different guy. I guess the money makes it worth while...
