It will either turn out fine, or it won't.

With a family heirloom it would be special to have the same stock that you know your granddad cherished and held. Btw your maybe never getting another one that he may of held. That for me would be the worth the extra shekels to reduce the risk of a botched job. That is maybe not very important for some.

For me when I pick up an old worn shotgun I feel honored and humbled. Getting to shoot one is like a warm welcoming hand shake with a fine old gentlemen willing to tell me story as if I am part of it. Maybe it's wrong to hold such an in-adamant object in high regard but then why do we have museums.

Dean how did your friends Parker stock break?
