Hello all! This is my first post!
Recently found a J. Stevens drop barreled shotgun, marked .44 Shot. A very small, smoothed-bore. Did some research and discovered they were very popular "garden guns" used for rodents and small birds. They were a predecessor to the .410, which was a European shell. The bore is good with minimal blueing remaining and the lever action (barrel release) is a little loose but otherwise in good shape.
Here's the question - I was considering having a liner installed and improving the sights, possibly as a 25-20 or a .32. Does anyone know if there is sufficient value for these which would make it a bad idea? I like the style of the gun but don't have much need for another small caliber shotgun.
I would appeciate any advice you Boollit Masters could share.
