Default Non parker stocks--Buy or pass

I truly love looking at fine Parker Shotguns. Half the time I am on this forum is just looking at pictures Bruce or Dean or someone has posted.

My issue though is being of limited means, I tend to haunt the more bargain basement bin side of Parker buying.

That tends to have me considering guns that others may pass, cut barrels, scratched frames, and non original stocks.

I tend to not be bothered so much by the non parker stock, as long as the price reflects it and the wood and the stock are at least pleasing to the eye, even if not quite right for the gun.

Now, there are 2 parkers on GB right now that have SBPs on them that look like the end of a 2 x 4 that I won't touch, but a nice looking stock that isn't quite right doesn't bother me as much.

Was curious what other people thoughts on a non parker stock that isn't quite right but still looks good. Would you buy it or pass?
