Why do people change the barrel configuration of nice old period guns, i.e., change the chokes, forcing cones, chambers and so forth.....WHY.........why not just shoot the proper loads in these fine older guns, all the components to load almost anything are available...and so is loaded ammunition for those that don't or can't load...?....
Why put rubber pads on guns....?.....Why not put the rubber pad on your shirt or coat or use a leather slip on pad....?....Why butcher the wood....?
So many nice guns have forever been destroyed by this practice and in most cases the owners don't shoot 'any better'...?....Opinions.....?
I have never been able to afford any collector condition guns, in the first place, so what I do with MY GUNS is no-one else's d..n business. Life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun, ugly dog or a gun that doesn't suit my purposes. My gun safe is not a museum. What you or anyone else does with theirs is certainly none of MY d..n business, either. Lighten up on your HTT attitude. Even if someone could answer all your "why, why,whys" questions, what would you do with the information?
