Ted, ditto that. Seems like makers quickly learned that a flat sided receiver was lots cheaper to make than one with milled panels. All the really great looking pump guns had sculptured frames: M-12,97, Rem. 29, 19, 17, etc. I love the classics and haven't bought a new gun since my last SKB and that was in the 70's. Thnks for all your input, guys. Chopperlump
