I have an AYA no.3 sxs magnum with beavertail forestock that I'd like to sort out - it was my first shotgun so I'd rather not scrap it altogether.
What happened, in a nutshell, was I thought I'd cleaned it before putting it away and I hadn't (I bought a new gun at the same time).
I got it out 6 months later and, to my horror, the bores were in a right state. I tried to hone them carefully and got nowhere so, after speaking to someone far more knowledgeable than I am, I came to the conclusion that I'd fix it when I could afford to.
The rear stock has a crack in it too but that's almost a separate issue
So, what can be done?
I've heard talk of barrel liners which sounds good but I hear it's not cheap?
about the only other thing I can think of is to buy another and make the best gun I can out of the two (will need a gunsmith for that, I expect) anyone know how I'd go about registering it as just the one gun and surrendering what's left?
Personally, I think the latter's the better option and probably cheaper but I don't know about the legalities or how much work would be involved - I believe it was a mass produced gun so probably not a lot but I hope some of you guys can help me out a bit?
