I have an early Citori Lightning with 26 inch barrels, fixed chokes and English straight stock. Opened the top one so both would be modified. Put a mercury recoil reducer in the stock to weigh it down and glass bedded it. I figure I've owned it for 20 years and shot about 1000 rounds per year of 3 inch steel BB and #2 out of it. Absolutely no mechanical or wood issues. Like to buy another if I find it.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
