Anybody who believes the only reason doubleguns get loose is because of lack of cleanliness and lubrication just hasn't been around as much shooting in their life as I have. I OWN a double that was not loose when I bought it but now is loose and off face ..... a modern made double. And, I NEVER let it go uncleaned or unloved, but I have shot the h--- out of it for about 7 years with some pretty stout modern loads. I do agree that most wear is caused by dirt and lack of lube, but certainly not all of it.

No one can answer your question because no one knows what the current condition is. I.e., it may not exhibit looseness now, but how close is it to being that way right now?
