Yes, it is silly, but I agree there is some reality. For the Model 21 collector, originality is almost everything. However, to shoot birds (grouse or quail) or clays, a M/F gun would be far from ideal for me. Personally, I wouldn't muck with the chokes myself on a 21. But if I found a nice gun already opened up, it wouldn't kill the deal for me. And being honest, I would try to beat them up on the price a little too (& have).

Socialism is almost the worst.
