Back in the 80's I bought a Model 11 at a pawn shop in Houston. I took it to Briley mfg on Gessner and had the 30 inch full choke barrel cut down to 27 inches and a Briley choke installed. Man, that old shotgun was and is a real shooter. After I'd had it for maybe 10 years, and hunted with my buddies that had expensive shiny new shotguns, I thought that getting it all polished up would be a good thing. It turned out real nice, and it does look much better than it once did. And they polished it with a wheel and they took off a little more metal in one spot than I wanted, but I guess I'm the only one that ever noticed it.
