If left on the road you are heading down, it will not be the best thing for the gun. Cold bluing would not be the proper finish for the gun. The receiver should not be blued at all. The barrels should be rust blued. Semi inletted stocks, though you are 80% there, still need a lot of skilled work to fit and finish properly. A correct buttplate would generally be preferred over a pad, but it is your gun, do what you want. Keep in mind that the trojan ised a different buttplate than other grades of parkers.
And yes, checkering is cut after finish.
