I think what you are doing is great. I also bought a 20 gauge VH that Asa Kelley found that had a straight stock with black tape around it and replaced forend for $ 800.00. I shot a 24 on the skeet range with it. Asa decided he would rather spend his time working with a BH that he got about the same time, so I ended up with the little 20. Sent it to Bill Schwartz and some time later it was returned looking like a new gun.
I then shot the 25 straight, so a special Parker to me.
