It can be done and had been done a lot with many different makes of guns. Heck, I have seen an original Parker G grade that was converted from PG to SG at the Meriden factory.

The biggest consideration with doing this to any gun is proper form when all is said and done (if you care about such things, which you should). If you take a straight edge and connect the front of the grip to the toe of the stock, this will give you the new toe line. Then look at the grip. Is it even going back behind the action? Ideally you do not want the look of a pinch in front of the comb. You either want it an even thickness or it to get slightly fatter as it gos back. And you done want to have a perch belly in the toe line of the stock either.

And, if this is being done to a finished stock with good sharp checkering, you have to figure how that is going to be worked out with extending and modifying the pattern.
