Thank you for the answers! I really appreciate it.

I will only be using light loads in it. I’ll probably only use it for clays, especially because of the non-toxic shot laws here.

Just from perusing this forum, you seem to be the expert on Darnes. Would you recommend trying to take the sleeve off the stock? I can get some better pictures of it later. I did unscrew the original darne butt pad off of it, and the wood underneath looked rough. I know little about shotguns and especially SxSs, I don’t want to ruin it out of curiosity.

Thank you again!
