haha, I had to laugh....what kind of quality do you want for the outcome? if anything better will be an improvement and fine with you, go for it.
personally woodworking/wood finishing is an artwork all its own, so having aspirations of this gorgeous stock that someone would charge you a grand to finish professionally, I wouldn't expect.....because it is a skill, and to myself just thinking about it, makes me not even want to consider it.......my main point of concern would be the checkering.......
yea if youre just going to replace it anyway and want to try it out, go for it, you may consider just having a pro restock it, though that would cost you more than $115 for a nice peice of wood and fitting etc....
That is partially whyu I've enlisted my father's help in this - he's a master at woodworking and has been making custom trim/etc for years. I was asking more along the lines of running into technical problems with fit afterwards, adding or removing material, etc.
And to be completely honest, I'm not looking for this gun to be a wall hanging master-piece. I plan on shooting this thing!
