sell it on eBay, you might be surprised what some of the old gun parts bring. some folks just display interesting things

i'm aware of ebay.
but the satisfaction of melting it down is more then equal to the few bucks i'd get. even moreso being someone cut apart a prewar solid rib to add it |

ZOMBIE THREAD FLASHBACK
thought I'd follow up on this old thread. turns out I never did anything with this old barrel and its polychoke. the gun is a 41R I picked up pretty cheap because of the poly and its mismatched stock I since replaced the wrong stock with a prewar stock. well this has become my shootingest gun I have ,every thing I point this gun at crumples to the ground. it has become my go to gun. a bane to every pheasant it unleashes on while I would still never "add" a poly to a gun ,I might have room for another if it found me. its actually become pretty indispensable for the varying cover I hunt. I move between cly ,imp cly, and mod multiple times a day every time Im in the field. I still don't know why someone would put a poly on a solid rib, but I'm not mad at you anymore for doing it |

Back in the day, EVERYONE just about put a Poly on. My uncle had three shotguns with polys on them, He loved them. they aren't too concerned with aesthetics back then, it was a working gun and visuals were totally unimportant. I will say They actually work pretty well and and while beauty is in the eye of the beholder, all I can say is that at least they aren't cutt compensators

another thing I noticed is what a difference a stock makes.
when I got the gun it had a hippie(60s)stock on it with a recoil pad . I went to the range and couldn't hit squat with it . I thought the problem was due to the poly ever since I replaced the stock with a correct prewar profile the gun has come to life |

The fit on a shotgun is everything. No other firearm requires the fit that a shotgun does.
Simple adjustments to LOP, Comb Height and cast can turn a a 23 shooter into a 12 shooter. People don't realize how important it is to have your gun fit. --Jim
