Why do people change the barrel configuration of nice old period guns, i.e., change the chokes, forcing cones, chambers and so forth.....WHY.........why not just shoot the proper loads in these fine older guns, all the components to load almost anything are available...and so is loaded ammunition for those that don't or can't load...?....
Why put rubber pads on guns....?.....Why not put the rubber pad on your shirt or coat or use a leather slip on pad....?....Why butcher the wood....?
So many nice guns have forever been destroyed by this practice and in most cases the owners don't shoot 'any better'...?....Opinions.....?
