    I was looking for a SRH Toklat and wound up picking a 7.5 SRH and had been wondering though did call Ten Ring Precision on a price on cutting and remounting the sight for a 7in Super Redhawk to a 5.5in SRH almost a year ago.

    I still will need to give it some range time with different bullet weights for 45LC and 454 Casull.

    But I have had some friends say I say I shouldn't do it cause it will reduce its value.

    Any experience with this?

    If it's a gun you plan on keeping and shooting the resale value won't matter.

    I am generally not concerned about resale value on modified firearms. I get them where I want them and enjoy them.

    If you think you might have to sell then either plan on taking a hit or don't modify it.

    Life is too short to worry about a little bit of money either way.

    I bought an extra barrel to have a vent ribbed silouette gun and kept the original to re install,on a Ruger blackhawk I'll never sell the gun... I've had it for 50 years.. but still keep the originalbarrelaround.

    Absolutely the best approach- pristine is for safe queens and investment firearms. Shooters should be the best shooter it can be!
