I borrowed a friends shotgun and did this to it. Think he will be mad?

These comments are pretty funny. I totally understand the "If it was mine I would kill you" point of view. But do understand this friend of mine basically didn't use this gun at all and I really didn't pick up on any sentimental vibe when I picked it up. If anything I think he will be more attached to it now that I have given it some TLC. This gun was never used for hunting or skeet or anything like that so the length / patterning was a none issue for the most part. He needed a short little slug gun to make him feel safe camping deep in the bush and this will work great. Granted this is just what I think. I have been known to be wrong before. As for all your suggestions about the bead I am going to put it on in about 5 minutes after I finish my cup of coffee. Stay tuned for the outcome in just a few short hours.......
 
Personally, I like it...but then if it were mine it wouldn't have looked like this one did in the "before" photo.

This is why I don't like to lend out guns. I can't wait to see how this pans out...then we'll see who's missing the point.
 
Drum roll please.......... I am meeting him and his wife for coffee in 30 minutes. A public place should keep me safe incase of some of your predicted "snap and kill me" scenarios. Personally given my knowledge of my friend I believe even with the barrel chop he is going to be pumped on this thing! It really was a $15 dollar piece of junk before. Plus who would not want a gun in a trombone case??
 
A "public place"? Let me get this straight...You are going to walk into Tim Horton's with the case in your hand like a Mexican mariachi, slam the case down on the table and pop the lid? That would be worth seeing. Good luck!
 
No wonder we haven't heard from the OP. :eek:

A quiet afternoon at a local cafe is turned into a horrific murder scene.

Police say that they are investigating the brutal bludgeoning of a local trombone player by the suspect in custody.

Witnesses say the victim, a man in his thirties, walked into Caffe Sorrentino in downtown Edmonton with a trombone case, ordered a coffee, and sat down at a free table in the corner of the cafe.

The suspect then walked into the cafe, joining the victim for a coffee. Witnesses say that the men had a few laughs and conversed inaudibly. The conversation then turned serious, both men became tense, until the suspect lost his temper.

One of the witnesses, John Buckham, commented on the events leading to the murder. "He just rose up, throwing the table across the room, notbody expected this". The suspect proceeded to yell out "This was my Great Grandfather's, how could you do such a thing?". The suspect then landed a massive blow to the victims face, knocking him backwards.

Police were immediately called to the scene, as the customers scrambled under tables and out the doors, as the suspect continued to pummel the trombone player.

Another witness, Betty Weatherman, was hiding under her table. "All I wanted was my daily fix of caffeine, this wasn't what I wanted". The suspect then opened the trombone case, at which point he broke down sobbing hysterically. The victim struggle in pain, his body badly beaten. Sirens could be heard nearing the horrific events unfolding at the cafe.

The suspect then stood up, wiping tears from his face, walked up to the victim, and began to land thunderous blows to the already badly beaten victim.

As the police rushed in, guns drawn, it was too little, too late. "The victim expired on scene at roughly 11:35" said Cst. Walker. Paramedics rushed the victim to Royal Alexandria Hospital, but failed to revive him. The families have yet to be notified, "We're keeping the identities of the members involved from the public for now" elaborated Cst. Walker.

Police say the suspect is in custody. Investigation is underway to understand the motive and reasoning behind this savage beating.

Information will be posted as events are unfolding.
