Default Parker Rookie Question

This question may be vague and carry several answers but how much does cutting and fitting a recoil pad on a Parker affect the value?

Depends on the desired LOP. if length is to be longer by 3/4" to 1+" then none if done by attaching to a DHBP with apoxy also varies with grade. Higher the grade more devaluation. Lots of variables.

What grade is your Parker?

What is the current LOP?

What LOP do you want it to be after the pad is installed?

Gofor it - that won't hurt the value at all if you use a period correct pad.
