We have a "Thumbs Up" button in the lower right to say "Thanks" to a post we agree with but I can't seem to find the "Thumbs Down" button to say "No Thanks" to a post we don't agree with.
My point is that it's not about the barrels or the frame being infirm - It's about the wood which is anywhere from 75 to 145 years old and most likely will suffer in one way or another from such pounding... even if it is only the 1 or so boxes of shells fired at wild pheasants each year.
