I was stationed overseas in the early 70's and had the opportunity to purchase a SKB 12 ga. 28"barrel with a beautiful, custom cut monte carlo stock for-I hate to say it-$300.00.
I've decided to give sporting clays a try and I was thinking of sending the gun to Carlsons to get choke tubes installed and the forcing cone recut.
Now for the questions.
1. Has anyone had Carlsons do any work?
2. I don't even know what version SKB I have. The only info on the gun besides choke designation and the serial number are the letters SKB and then below it the letters CM6xxxxx. The six is the first of the serial number that matches the serial number(minus the CM) on the long tang of the trigger guard. I seem to have a distant memory of the previous owner saying it was a 600 but heck that was long ago.
3. Any idea as to the worth of the old gal? The receiver has a satin gray/silver kind of finish with very nice engraving covering almost all of the sides and bottom.
4. Anyone see any problems with me having choke tubes installed?
Thanks for the info.
