I would shoot it for awhile before I did that.

I am under the impression that balancing on the hinge pin is generally considered a good thing for a bird gun. I think GT Garwood/Gough Thomas rated a gun as lively if the balance was within 3" to 4" of the front trigger.

Parker collectors also seem to hold guns that "balance on the hingepin" in high esteem.


I am glad to be here.
