Rich, if nothing is said about the wrist/comb area of your concern and someone can properly make it to what you want - why not ? I don't believe for a minute that every Parker made has never been altered. You're not taking it to some weird dimensions but to what was the norm. I just came from Bachelders and he showed me a Parker stock that had a screw put through it behind the reciever because it had cracked. Brad removed the screw, fixed the crack, then milled the stock on both sides. He then found two pieces of wood to match the stock and glued them on. I swear, you could NOT see what he had done. I looked at the repair with my reading glasses on for two or three minutes trying to see the glue line. I don't know how he did it - the stock look original. I would not be afraid to get with him for any repairs of fine double guns - and he's in Michigan close to you. He had just finished a Remington Special [ only four of them known ] and was working on a Parker A Grade. Paul
