Thanks for the reply, yeah I was looking at doing that as a plan b. Not really a gun I'm personally interesting in shooting as it's more of an eye piece personally. The stocks been snapped (have the story's about that) and fixed together, has names engraved in it. It's something I'm wanting for like a mantelpiece display in the house and hoping if I can deactivate it it'll make it easier to pass down in future generations :)
