Edgar, why bottom gun frame not case-hardened? Risk of warping? I ask because Nick Makinson advised not case-hardening on restored Sterly many years ago. I didn't.

Case colors are worn off, except for protected areas.

Pretty good video from Midway on converting a Model 21 from PG to Straight stock.

These two VH's were restocked by Show Me Gun Stocks in Warsaw, Missouri. The 16 came to me from my cousin without a stock and the 12 lost it's stock and barrels at the hands of Sherman Bell. I got the straight stock trigger guard bows from Galazan's https://connecticutshotgun.co/parker...t-grip-guards/ Donnie Gemes kept the cost down by picking up scrap wood off the floor.

What I meant was to change it to a straight grip if you want to but save tha original for historic verification and if the next owner wants a pistol grip, he’ll have the original.

Totallly got it, just needed that swift kick! It would be cool to convert but would really regret it later. A replacement stock is a long shot. So it will stay!

Best option is to just buy another gun, once with a straight stock.
