Need opinions...

[Frank Wilson]

I recently received my semi-inletted stock back from a firm in Missouri for my 16 ga 0 frame. The stock is from a blank I picked out from a local sawmill here in southern OK. The colors and grain patterns in the wood itself turned out considerably more attractive than I had even hoped for. I've been chomping at the bit to get started on fitting and finishing this stock. But here's the problem, the stock I received back is a straight grip and the existing stock on my gun is a pistol grip with original cap, butt plate and yes, matching serial number trigger guard. Not sure how that happened since I emailed a pic of the gun with existing PG stock. It appears the stock itself on this 1903 gun is the only part that is not original, (no serial number and no checkering but an otherwise very sound and we'll fitting stock) thus my desire to upgrade the wood. I really like the look and feel of the straight grip but not sure I'm comfortable with modifying the original trigger guard by cutting, welding etc... I'm aware of the Parker straight grip tg available from Galazan.
Would like some opinions: 1) send the company another blank and allow them to correct the issue? Or 2) go with the amazing wood of the new straight grip and go through with either modifying or replacing altogether the original trigger guard?
