Rocketman...If I'm going to shoot hammer guns that are 100 years old...I'm not going to shoot junk...I've already been that route.

Take my Purdey 10 hammer gun as an example the barrels were sleeved and Nitro proofed..sometime after 1950.

I looked at it as a superior shooter more so now than if the barrels were original and untouched (if it was I couldn't afford it anyway).

If I was a collector of guns I would've turned my nose up at it like Lowell repeatedly has....

I'm a collector...a collector of animals I can shoot with it...I can't help I have English best taste on a Sterlingworth budget.
