I understand your frustration. To pay such a high dollar for a gun that is worthless is pitiful. You want your money out of it. That I understand. Its your gun and you can do what you want with it. Believe me Ive wanted to chop up a few of my guns. Sometimes these bigger companys think they can crap on the little guy. Us people who work hard for our money and want the best for ourselves. Sometimes more expensive isnt the way to go. I myself shoot a simple Mossberg 500 with an extended factory turkey choke. Never once have I missed a turkey and can kill a turkey out at 50 yards or more. Do what is right for you...
