I have located a gun that I would like to own. It is a grade and gauge that I want, and I haven't had much luck in finding one. The gun has a few issues and due to that, I am really thinking hard on if I want to buy this one.

The main hang up for me is that the gun has had sling swivels attached to it. I was curious what the thoughts were on how those detracted from the value of the gun. This is a good old American made gun and those swivels just really stick out in a negative way in my mind. Was curious what others thought about it.
