Hey, it's already older than most of us and still going strong. It appears a good solid gun (I like the carved fences) and properly cared for it will give years of hunting and shooting enjoyment. These guns carry well and the swamped rib is, IMHO, a real help when it comes to shooting game.
I'd stick with the lighter loads and possibly spreaders if the chokes come back tight and haven't already been messed with. Heavy loads will beat up the wood needlessly. Cutting the chokes now seems a bit sinful - they're only original once and it's made it this far....
I still can't believe you sold yours, Mark.
