I find myself working on a really nice pre-WW II eastern European 16 box lock ejector, about 6 lbs, with cheek piece and sling swivels. My first reaction was to do away with the sling swivels. A fair amount of work to do it so there is no evidence but i could be done this one gun that may be worth it.
I think the value may be enhanced with the swivels off; I will keep the cheek piece as there is a really nice patina on the stock and I don't want to mess that up.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
thanks, Gil
