I keep running across guns which were once really nice, but have been damaged in some manner. Barrels cut by hacksaw, significant rust, etc. Sometimes I want to rescue the gun and I have on occasion bought guns that are pretty beat up. I’m considering turning a couple into customs but have reservations about doing so. Neither can ever be returned to original configuration without spending more than they would be worth after the expense. Both have been drilled on, cut on, and in general terms molested pretty bad. They are certainly candidates for customization. What would you all consider the tipping point between a restoration project and a customization project?
