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.
