Bob here's what a Browning collector sent me after reading your thread . I'm posting it with his permission.

Quote:

The whole thing is, less than 50 super light Pointer 28 ga were factory made. Collectors know superlights were not salt. Now, there's another one. Upgrades of rare pieces diminish the sanctity of factory original. He's making it a superlight so no one will question the salt. Rare guns like that were not always recorded by browning. So, who is to say it's not factory original when it's done. These upgrades serve to dilute the rarity and splendor and sanctity of the factory original.

End of quote...does "sanctity" matter bOb ?

bOb I sure hate you sold that really nice model 21 Winchester to finance this unsanctimonious project.
