OK, I'm no restoration expert but if I found out after the fact that some guy took a torch to my shotgun so as to phony up case hardining I would be compelled to either kick his a%% so hard he would have to unbutton is collar to take a leak or I'd sue the crap out of him for falsely presenting a bogus restoration. Ed, you may think you're right but you're not.
