I appreciate all the kind words of encouragement and advice. Believe me I tried it all and now know three dozen ways not to do it. The stock, I believe, is original to the gun as the serial numbers are under the trigger guard bow and it looks like Parker inletting. There is darkness from oil, but it does not show through and the wood is not punk. Here is what I did:
1) Reversed the trigger spring to push the triggers forward
2) Rounded the front of the Safety Tab
3) Backed the front tang screw sleeve out a half turn to index the screw (it was 1/4 turn past center)
Again thanks to all for sharing your experience and knowledge.
