Maybe I'll just purchase a Pietta 1851 from Cabela's and shoot that instead. No arbor problem with those.Hi Creek - I agree with the quotes above. Keep that beautiful rare baby pristine. Get a Pietta 1851 to shoot like crazy and thereby eliminate any concerns over tradeoffs or conflicts of judgment. I have had a Pietta 1851 since 1996 [BH] and it is still shooting great, it always has. I love that thing. Your 2nd Gen. is a really beautiful piece. Nice picture of it too.
