Arvin, that is what makes this forum a good one. We have slight differences, but with your safety concerns, you can stand next to me and go shooting any day
I just hate to pop a new barrel on a gun that is otherwise still a collectable gun, even if in good shape, a shooter, goes for shooter prices and by putting on a new barrel you might drop the price a hundred to a couple of hundred?
BUT, a nice shooting, safe gun is a heck of a lot better than a 2.4 lb paper-weight!!
