Dean is correct , not to tramp on toes here but you have to watch the size ! A week ago some one advertised in the WTB section for a V Grade Shield for an O Framed Stock and I went to the CSMC site to check before posting to make sure they still had them advertised ,and the size they have in their catalog was very large compared to an O Frame Parker Brothers shield ,so I didn't bother to mention it !

That stock shield is quite a bit larger than the original Parker, about 50% larger, but unable to find an orginal, I took a Dremel tool with a round sanding disk and about two hours later I had it close enough to an original Parker in size and shape that one could hardly tell. To get the surface the same, it took quite a bit of polishing with a rag and Flitz. Now when my stock man went to put it in, the large nail on the back of it broke off. So after inletting it, additional bending to fit the contour of the stock, he just epoxied it in place. A lot of work but it's close enough only a PGCA member could tell the difference. The originals are held in place by two very small wire nails but I did not think that was worth the effort. It was a $100 effort to get to that point.

The same shields are available from a couple of sources if you want to shop around.

Not nearly as small as original Parker even after a lot of work, but hey, the stock is not original. At least now there is a shield where there was nothing. I could have made it even smaller. The Dremel tool sanding disk fit the countours nicely.
