I don't know...

It definitely pays to evaluate the whole gun before undertaking repairs. A worn out gun can be far more costly to repair than it would ever be worth, but one that has little wrong, even if it is something major like a bent crane, can often be well worth repairing. It used to be very common to see revolvers with bent cranes, often because of people imitating their favorite cop show actors who would open the cylinders one handed by pushing the lever and giving the gun a quick flip of their wrist. This would cause the cylinder to come flying out and frequently bend when they came to an abrupt stop. These guns were frequently shot very little as they were owned by people who were not shooters and did not understand the damage they were doing.
