I bought this at the latest Amoskeag auction. I think if it had an unaltered stock and the original DHBP I probably would not have been able to afford it. Everything else was so nice I decided to go for it. I looked at the gun before the auction during the preview period and left an absentee bid.

Now it all comes back to me. I agree with everything you said, and I actually thought of running up for the preview. Another member and I actually had a discussion about this gun.
This is only a thought and not intended to be a recommendation, but if the slip on pad works for you, it might be nice to not disturb this stock, but look for a suitable replacement, and keep this one as-is. I have a thing about pads on 20s.

I'd save up my money and have Mark Larson or Dennis Earl Smith put a wood extension on it, they can blend in the extension and make it look like one piece. Put on a DHBP and it will look super. Nice gun!
