It depends, IMO, how much usage you have for a 8 plus pound 32" tightly choked double with a raised ventilated rib- if you are a pass shooter, or a live bird shooter, perhaps. The stock could be repaired by a good stock man, if the mechanics- trigger pulls, ejectors in time, gun is on face are correct- $3K is not a bad price- replacing the removed safety with original parts might be a bit of a challenge, but if you can hit clays or birds with it, even as is- yes- go for it. Not the gun I would choose for walking up pheasants behind dogs in SD, but for the incomers as a blocker- pass shooting-- RWTF
