I recently picked up a BSA Stutzen RB2. Its a lovely rifle, but has a bit of a kick.

After a bit of on-line research, I find its a bigger project to tune than normal, and could do with the O ring seal replacing with a normal type seal for best manners that will also lower cocking effort and trigger weight due to a lower pre-load spring being required, plus the rail removal can be a bit of a mare in the wrong hands (mine!)

Question is:
It will cost me £100 to get this tuned, o-ring removed and a normal type of seal attached, new spring, guide, transfer port modded. So will this add value to the rifle, or detract from its current value?
I dont want to turn a good collectors piece, into a piece of junk!

If it makes it a well mannered rifle, I will probably use it more than leaving it alone...



Thanks!
