my heart does a little flip flop when I hear about meridian doubles!that was the very first double I ever had 40 yrs ago!
personally I would get action cleaned up and fix the wrist with acgraglass,thats what I did to mine many yrs ago .eventually I had briley 20 ga tubes put in it ruined balance of whole thing.i showed to the previous owner aftr I had it all fixed up ,thinking he would get a kick out of seeing resurrected(he was in 80 s by then and had owned for 60 yrs)his comment was ,sure putting a lot of money in that old gun!but as was stated before its a hobby not an investment,i wouldn't trade mine .the old guy is gone now n I have his legacy !
