Sell it and buy something that fits the bill without going through all the expenses of the wanted/needed conversions. Seems like an expensive project to fill a niche that you more than likely already have covered by guns you probably currently own. Just a thought.
Yea, that is an option, I suppose. They ain’t worth anything, though:

They sell for what an equivalent Spanish boxlock sells for, probably because not enough people know Richland imported a few Italian guns. The Italian guns, are better, no question.
But nobody knows or cares.
What is a comparable, subgauge, boxlock going to set me back? How does that price compare to what I have into this one (0) and what the cost for new front wood, and rasping the pistol grip off?
Might be the same money when the dust settles. The one I own would be done, fresh and serviced, the next one, maybe not so much.
Thinking out loud, mostly, but, the Richland might make up into a fine bird gun. It is basically new, as well.
Best,
Ted
