No Lindners or Purdeys around my house, but I do have a token Parker, a last year of production steel barreled P grade with tight chokes and a stock that is too long for me. It is useless to me but I won't do anything to it, not because its much of a 'collectible', but it is sort of a classic and I'd reduce the value it has if I messed with it. On the other hand I have no problem opening a Miroku so I can shoot steel in it or with whacking the stock and installing a pad on it...Geo
