"Like I stated in the other post, I wouldn't have done it if I had any real reason to doubt the safety...just because I didn't treat your warnings as gospel doesn't mean I must be stupid..." Vincyr

Hey- I understood your review perfectly and saw no problems with it. Any gun that will take a full load of birdshot in high base, will take a slug. The only thing to be concerned about is if it is modified, over some slug shooting, you just may have widened it out to Imp. Cyl. I would not get too concerned over those on the internet who nothing better to do than to jerk someone's chain!
Back in the day, I shot a Rem. Sportman 48 with a 30" full choke duck gun- took 2 deer with it and the deer did not seem too concerned about it and did not last long enough to ask where the rocket came from.
What these guys don't ask is how much those workers in Brazil are paid hourly to make a synthetic stocked gun with one barrel and little frills! The gun cost probably $50 at best to make. We just have a world full of lawyers advocates these days who tell Rossi to put that warning on and to put that stupid bolt safety on top of the Rossi 92/Winchester.

Ask any good gun man: safety is mostly between the ears, which some these guys are sorely lacking.
I get it. You must be one of the two "Professional Gunsmiths" this guy was talking about (over two years ago).

Dean don't mind the arrogance and sarcasm of some. However, many low base shells can be loaded to to handle the high velocity and pressures.
You call a rebuke arrogance and sarcasm. What do you call posting something when you don't know that the hell you're talking about? I get your drift, but while a rebuke of ignorance should be a no no in favor of educating the ignorant, a rebuke of BS is not the same.
