I'm guessing old 'Bubba might have met his reward by now. The modification for using it, mounted like a punt gun on a boat or a pallet, was done a very long time ago. Ditto the extra sling swivels in addition to the mount for the factory sling.
What I can't believe is someone was still shooting it before it came to be my friend's gun. There isn't much holding the old girl closed anymore.
My friend knew better than to shoot it.

Best,
Ted
