Undoubtedly.
This is similar in nature to the recent thread about the gun altered by Col. Askins.
I have a 20ga. DHE that belonged to Otis Odom, and was altered by him. The butt stock was originally a PG stock, which he altered to straight. He straightened out the trigger guard, and did a beautiful job of inletting and checkering around the trigger guard tang. I think it's done to the highest quality of the many I have seen similarly modified, but recognize it's value is diminished greatly (fortunately, the guy who sold it to me felt the same way)
