| Neither am I. For those concerned about price, consider that a lower-grade Ideal with a complete American-styled restocking, including beavertail and white-line pad, went this time last year for a couple hundred more than the ask price on this gun. If I had the scratch, this one might well be mine. But I don't. |

| I owned one of those guns in 20 gauge 25 years ago and liked it. But, it went away in dealing for a Parker. |

Looks to me like the wood is shrinking back from the metal. Might be better off with that restocked gun, beavertail and all. |
