I dunno, I'd keep it if there was *something* not poor about it, but.... The stock is a replacement, the bores are poor, and the mechanics are screwed up.

It's just too far gone to be worth fixing up, and I am afraid to shoot it as-is. With the mechanical bits screwed up, it's not even valuable as a parts gun for my 12/.30-30 Hollenbeck. frown

It was advertised specifically as "decent mechanics" while all the others in the same price bracket were listed with various mechanical problems, but "decent mechanics" is very much not the case.

And the loose ribs are way more obvious than it appears in the picture. It's the first thing I noticed when I unwrapped it from the packing material. Originally I'd thought that since the bores were so poor, that if I decided to keep it for a shooter I'd just have some 20ga liners installed. But the rib issues take things into a whole other realm of restoration.
