Lenghtening forcing cones does nothing is your opinion. However there are a number of experts out there that say different. As with back boring. If I were to own this gun and want to shoot it .035 in each barrel is a little much for the type of hunting I do. My duck hunting is in your face close. I eat what I kill and I really don't care to eat lead garnished with duck. I understand your point and am not in any means saying you are wrong for wanting to keep it original. I think thats part of my apprehension to buying it. Besides that I would perfer a pistol grip stock for sporting clays. If EOT means what I think it does boy are you shallow. End of topic???? Oh so its your word or no word. Thats pretty lame to contribute to a topic but once you add your opinion you are done. Just my opinion
