Yep flouridation is nothing but a commie plot. Flouride is good for your teeth as a topical treatment when brushing teeth. Ingesting it all the time?? Heard evidence for and against, pick your poision.

That Greener is something.....different. Plenty of good thoughts, bad ideas, and that is one of them when it comes to aesthetics. Wonder how it shoots though. 10 gauge no chokes, muzzle brakes, sounds like a hog killing machine. Ever see those boar hunts in Europe. If I was pushing hogs and one decided turn back on me, that would be the gun I would want.

I would bet it was made to shoot slugs. (or I should say converted). Did you bid on it Charlie. I would hate to step on any toe's. Wish I knew how to make a smiley face.

A disgrace to a fine gunmaker’s name.

There is a point at which bad taste and metal derangement transcend into vandalism. The remains of this Greener prove it.

Don't do it as it will be a money pit Yes been there done that, but I had the help of Brad B to help with my Greener, it was a pigeon grade gun that a trap shooter made into his trap gun, hot blued Damascus barrels, adjustable comb, Morgan pad and reducer and beavertail forend. We brought it back but it cost me more then the gun's worth, but also Brad put a hell of lot more labor then he charged me for ! But neither of us could not let her go into a parts gun.

And to Brad (he had way, way too many hours in that project) and it may have been the last project that he completed as I picked it up in February. It's a 12 ga and I love small bore guns but it is one of my favorites!
