Yes indeed it does, I've done the same to one of my Howas and never worried about doing to the others and they all shoot very well as a rule, some believe in doing it some don't just do what works for you I say and Allens a good fella, he will do a good job I'm sure.
Don't forget to come back and let us know how it all goes.
