Re-stocking a Parker Reproduction
Last year I became interested in SxS shotguns after a lifetime of shooting a Browning A5. I located and purchased a Browning BSS 20 ga. I shoot it very well and it seems to point very similar to my A5. I aslo bought a used Parker Reproduction 20 ga. I could tell immediately that I did not like the splinter forearm. After shooting it for a while, I realized that it has more drop in the stock than the guns I usually shoot. However, for some reason, I just want a Parker Reproduction. I have found that Parker Repro 20's with beavertail forearm are difficult to find. In addition, it seems that the LOP on most is a bit shorter than I like.
In short, I have been considering the option of having this gun re-stocked. I have a few questions:
1) what would be a ballpark price ?) beavertail forearm, longer LOP with less drop. Wood quality to equal factory stock.
2) will the trigger guard tang (angle / position) prevent changing stock drop?
3) would the factory stock have any value (recuperate some cost)?
Does this sound at all reasonable, or is this a ridiculous idea? Lol
