I agree with my friend, King, that we are a different people North and South of the border. However, I won't go so far as to compare this difference to our attitudes about gun raping. You know, I don't for a minute think that most of the shooters who fool with the interiors of their barrels know how useless and pointless these modifications are for the purpose of hitting birds or reducing recoil. I think even fewer are aware of the harm they are doing to the resale value of their guns, because, to a man, they claim they are never going to sell them and they claim to care little about the value of the guns their widow will sell. I gave the example of the friend who ruined his NID 5E Trap. The same person had the barrels ported on a pristine prewar Superposed Lightning with twin single triggers. He was not confused about the benefits so much as he was uninformed about the value aspect. He spent hundreds of dollars reducing the value of his guns by more hundreds of dollars and not gaining a target along the way. He knows better now but can't reverse the damage.
