Ted, I am one of those owners who think all their guns are meant to be shot. Even my high grade guns get used and even hunted with. Even if this gun was cherry I would shoot it. As it is I think it should be an excellent gun for shooting and enjoyment. Altering a gun is not the end of the world many seem to think. I am not saying spray paint it black but guns were made to be shot. Used but not abused. My .410 pigeon grade 42 has killed almost 1,000 Dove so far and I hope to kill another thousand before I am done hunting with it. What is the point of owning a fine gun and never shooting it. Might as well collect stamps.
