Default Parker Sporting Clays Gun

I was thinking the other day how cool it would be to have a dedicated SC gun that was a SxS. I shoot an AL 391 Beretta Auto on clays, and would need something with similar dynamics to pull this off.
Looking thru my safe, I think I found the perfect candidate. An old 1906 ejector gun, that came out of an estate. I'm not in this gun that much, (2700 bucks) so I thought I would post the questions here.
#1: What recoil pad?
Add a palm swell?
Add a BT FE?
What about choke tubes?
Here's some pics of the gun I'm talking about:
32" BBLs and great dimensions to start with


Nice and tight, with pretty engraving (I like that)


Nice wood (I like that too)


Shown here with recoil pad that it will need


This will unfortunately have to go


I will save this as a souvenir


Underside, showing the cool grip cap


Does this look like the correct angle?


Now to add the pad


What's the best way to turn this into a beavertail FE? Add wood to this one, or start from scratch?




I realise I should have started this post at the beginning of the month, but thanks for any input you might have.
