Uncle Jack had one that I got when he died. A full choke 20 gauge with a long barrel didn’t work for the barn pigeon and grouse hunting that I did. A local gunsmith said that he could cut back the barrel and put in a recessed choke, add a Simons vent rib, oversize safety and reblue it. All good except the recessed choke didn’t seem to choke anything. That was regrettably before screw in chokes, so since it was the Polychoke era, I added a ventilated one of those. The thing points like my index finger and is a practical upland grouse gun, but alas, I was too quick to have it redone and royally screwed up its collector value.
