All I can say is SACRILEGE!!!!!
To see the smiths and the son (the engraver) so happy about taking Grandpa's old 870 hunting gun and turning it into an HD gun........MADE ME SICK!!!!!
Now if it was a newer Express than I could see cutting it up and welding on sights, but an old WINGMASTER.....NEVER!!!
They destroyed a piece of family history and built a gun that could have been bought NEW for much less than half what they charged!
My wife kept telling me to relax cause I was yelling at the screen every time they would discuss what they were doing to it! :shock:

I have an old Stevens (Cleveland Sportsman) 10 ga. I was given by my father in law who remembers his grandad hunting with it when he was a kid! I had considered havin new furniture made for it... but have decided to leave it with the few cracks in it and keep it as a piece I can hang on the wall man. Theres alot of history in that old gun and it may go back as far as the early to mid 1900's but def pre WWII.
No way I'd try and alter it. Heck just to have it restored to original I was quoted $2000! If I could afford restoration, I'd consider it, though I think 2 grand is high. Especially for a gun that wasnt even sold but for less than $100 new.
ya know. It used to bother me when someone would take a classic car and destroy it for a show. then I realized. everyone they destroy just makes the rest more rare.LTB45 said:Finally got a chance to watch the show last night.
