Dick_dup1,
This gun has a stock that measures 14-1/4" X 1-1/2" X 2-1/4" AE SST late 1940's 7lbs 11oz for $7,999.00. Kevin this is the gun you are talking about I do believe. Its the only Duck grade with straight grip on Galazans site right now. I want it!!!!!!!!!!!! All I would do is lenghten the forcing cones, open the chokes to .015 in each barrel. Then have a stock made for it. I could still use it for ducks and upland. My favorite duck spot is loaded with woodies, teal, and greenheads. They come in to the decoys so nice. The farthest shot you could even get in there is 25 yards. Its thick with trees and cattails. I have had great luck with these chokes on ducks and upland game.
It's your money and you can certainly do what you want with it but if this gun is in its original configuration, it is one of the rarer 'Duck's out there. Opening the forcing cones serves no purpose, opening the chokes destroys the original gun forever. While you are having all this done with a new stock, you could spend $13K from CSMC and have the exact gun you want made at about the same cost. EOT for me.-Dick
