One could be returned, more or less to original but the other is way past that. Neither cost that much.

No criticism intended Grandpamac.

It's funny, 20 years ago I couldn't wait to get rid of the last of my 30s. All range rifles. I'd also owned ex rifle club SMLEs at one stage. They were sold and cut down.

My pristine 2 groover No 4 I sold to a "mate". Some years later I was horrified to see it in the local gun shop, all cut down. I guess I had no complaint, he was the owner, but it wasn't his intension of doing that when he twisted my arm to sell.

My last to go was my Fazakerley '54 Fulton.
Now wish I had at least kept the 2 groover.
