IMHO, I'd advise NOT to refinish. The way it is now it just wreaks of reality and surely genuine. No story needed with this one because it talks as tells all, exactly as it is now.

Good luck with that, you'll love it.

Would you mind sharing the serial number with us? (unless it's already posted and I missed it). There are a bunch of us that keep track of the serial numbers and configuration / sights etc.
