I do not know if you are looking to have your original stock duplicated, of if you are looking to purchase a duplicated stock off the shelf. But, one of the things to watch out for with Parker's and other makes of guns that were hand fitted, is that every one is different. I have found that there is not much interchangeability. Also, the original dimensions of a gun will effect now the tangs are bent, thus making some guns tricky to get brought up to modern dimensions.
When I duplicate a stock on my machine, I find it always easier to work from the original stoc. If I use an on- hand pattern, I sometimes have to build in certain safety factors when duplicating.
Buying an off the shelf duplicated stock is much different if we are talking about a Stevens 311 or savage 99 since they are very consistent, which allows for more of a drop in fit.
My opinions are only based in my working with what my machine turns out.
