I have no problem leaving it as a wall hanger, but every time I take it out of the safe, and shoulder it, I have the desire to put it to it's intended use. It just feels good. I was only wondering about a ballpark figure before I invest $2000 into a set of sleeves for a $500 gun.
It would be a cold day before I'd sleeve a gun . Think I have something like 14 or 15 Damascus barreled guns and I shoot them all . If the bores are rough enough that you question it I'd give serious consideration to having Briley put in a set of full length tubes in day 20 gauge . The two tubes are about $600 I think .
