WRT Robins question: I would fix it if I were going to shoot it. If I didn't I'd be thinking of the damage I was doing every time I pulled the trigger. I also think that only an American would even ask the question. The British would not think twice of repairing a loose Purdey or H&H worth $100,000+. They'd do whatever it took to make the gun properly functional if it were their regular hunting gun regardless of value. The more expensive it was the more likely they would fix it I'd guess.
