Thank you everyone for the responses. I contacted Turnbull today and boy they spent a lot of time on the phone with me discussing the options I have for finishing the stock and forend as well as redoing the checkering. Am I correct in assmuming Turnbull has an outstanding reputation? I almost considered a company in my own area (Yuba City, CA) but saw some very bad press on the Internet thus the call to Turnbull.
Althought I have restored several 1903A3s, 1903s, many rifles, and many inexpensive shotguns, I am very nervous about screwing up my only Parker. I have decided to leave the final touches to Turnbull.
I am definetely going to look into RST shells and my own reloading recipies to make sure I preserve this gun.
