Hi Ibrahiim,
I think this is an outstanding idea!

While personally extremely conservative on the restoration of weapons, I think there are times when a very worn and damaged weapon is deserving of such attention to return it to a reasonable status quo. It seems these kinds of questions come up often enought that perhaps an organized system for recommended handling and workable tips might be beneficial. I think this would serve well to emplace certain caveats as well, in response to Jens well placed note......the very last thing we want to see is weapons damaged or compromised by poorly applied treatments, so the use of this specialized area would hopefully prevent such things.

Looking forward to further input and suggestions on facilitating this idea.

All best regards,
Jim
