I think age gets lost in the discussion as well. When you are talking about a firearm that is 100+ years old, that wood is going to be dry. It may look great on the surface, but it is most likely dry as a bone underneath.

The same with the steel. I don't understand why some feel the need to lengthen chambers or open chokes on steel that is already weakened/stressed from age and use.

Conservation should be the mission, not accelerating their demise.

Just my opinion, many have others.
