Default what would you do?

I have been in this situation many times and it comes down to utility vs. sentimental attachment. some guns I just won't part with and they'll sit in the safe and every once in a while be taken out cleaned and admired (my Lefever E gr). Others, I simply have no attachment to and if I can't shoot them well it gives me the opportunity to sell or trade for something new and different which is always exciting for us collector/shooters.

Angel I hope the increased comb height helps with your dilemma. I had a Parker 16ga I called The Dominatrix as it had so much added leather, a comb pad and a slip on recoil pad to lengthen the pull. I finally sold it.

That's a nice gun if your still in a quandary after the first of the year I'll test her for you.
