I once mentioned to Kirby Hoyt of Vintage Doubles that I have no interest in any sleeved guns. He told me I need to change my attitude about sleeved guns. He apparently thinks they are fine but he also sells a lot of them. I think sleeving is a good and economical way to save the stock and locks of what would otherwise be junk with unsound barrels. However, Id want to look a sleeved gun over carefully, and for that matter one with replacement barrels before jumping in, making sure they arent super tired old guns.

Socialism is almost the worst.
