Generally I am against altering old original classic doubles just as I am against street-rodding nice Model A's. However, Bamboozlers' Fox presents a pretty convincing arguement for the other side. We will want to see the finished product for final judgement, for he could proceed with vent rib, adjustable comb kevlar stock, and ported barrels. Seriously, I would take that gun off his hands for safety sake as I am concerned that removal of so much metal on the breeches may have taken it out of proof.
