I am well aware that most admirer's of English side by side shotguns prefer a straight grip and splinter forearm; however, there are some guns out there with pistol grips, pow grips and beavertails (many of which were made for the American mkt). Knowing that straight grips are preferred, should there be any devaluation to these guns which have been 'Americanized'? I believe it is likely cost prohibitive to have them converted and if one was trying to sell one of these guns I think it might be pretty tough as I would suspect the market target audience would be very small. For me to buy one with a beavertail forearm and a pistol grip stock I would have to be offered a significant discount, say 20-30% as compared to a similar gun with a traditional straight stock and splinter forearm. Any thoughts? Agree or disagree?
