I just told you, its nothing personal. What more do you want me to say? And, btw when Angelo Bee and Art Isaacson get done with that gun , it WILL appear as an original. Only a savvy collector who know the ropes, knows the Browning people in the know, knows how to make contact with the Browning historian will not be fooled that its not original. Mind you, Im not alleging Bob will try to fool anyone, but years from now and after the gun has left Bobs care, thats when the waters will get muddy as to whats original and what isnt. I will repeat myself....I have no use for upgrades. Simple as that.
Have you considered that others do have a use for upgrades? That your vision of enjoying guns isn't the only one. That others can have a different perspective.
Maybe "collectors" should get a little savvy when they are dropping 5 figures on a gun. And I repeat....had you left this thread alone it would have quickly come up in a simple google search for us "non savvy" collectors. Not that hard to ascertain originality Buzz.
You made your point in the first thread. This was just gratuitous or the result of an unbridled ego, demanding the rest of us dance to your tune.
