There you go John, a collector that said he wouldn't touch one that was altered. So if you alter it you just eliminated a lot of collectors willing to spend money. I wouldn't risk it.
Is that supposed to matter? If I bought a 12 gauge Model 21 to shoot and enjoy at clays and game, I could not give a lesser frig about what the collector crowd wants. You think Bob's position is all there is when it comes to 21 owners? What's more, they're STILL BEING MADE in New Britain, CT.
I'm through with this tarbaby.
