Greg, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Value is what you put on the gun not somebody else. I like your gun a lot and think it has a lot of value as a shooter. Having said that I would not have bought it as I prefer guns that are original or mostly so. A recoil pad installed would not deter me but having the stock lengthened with matching wood would put me off entirely. My neighbor would jump at the chance to have your gun because he is from an old ranching family who puts value on usability rather than originality. It all depends on what you, the buyer, are looking for. It matters not what the rest of us think.
