Geo. Newbern - Thanks, I agree that it has no collector value. "Whats it worth to me"? I've stated what i thought, but I'm still not buying the gun either.

GregSY - You need to re-read the thread. I never said gun was a 12ga. on a 0 frame. Thank You!

Dam 16SXS - Never refused anyones advice from Parker experts. Mostly i agree with everyone. Also i never said what i would pay. I did say what the dealer was asking.

So, to clear the air here! I appreciate everyones advice and i won't be taking the plunge on this one. What i failed to get across in the tread is i wanted to know: 1) why a set of sleeved barrels that make a gun non original any different than(like i said before)a gun that has been cut and or a pad added to a gun that had a spurred butt plate or a skelton plate. From eightbores expert advice(which i do agree he proabably is)the gun will never go up in value because of the sleeved barrels. Okay, will that same gun with a cut barrel from 30" down to 28" and no choke suffer the same? This is the question that didn't get discussed and the reason for the continued reply.
