Dr. WtS:
Sound and reasoned words indeed. My station in life has forced me to modify many a Sow's Ear. This, however will not be one of them. My motivation here is purely nostalgic, tinged with minor practicality. I simply wanted a lightweight American double gun and was not willing to mortgage the house (I effectively swapped-in two silk purses to secure it). This unit has Krupp fluid-steel tubes that have, seemingly, remained unmolested until now. Any changes I make (if at all) will be very deliberate and cautious. The next guy in line, however, will need to exercise as much caution as I do, I fear. Caveat Emptor.
