Thanks for the comments. Next step for these guns if not the extensions you see is a thick ugly pad, or a complete restock. As mentioned, my budget cannot buy the original unaltered gun or have the work done to redo entirely. I've shot dozens of guns worked on by my brother. Biased as I am, the work is masterful, functional and miles ahead of the hideous extensions it replaced. The radiused LC #1 wood is going to be a piece of art. A look at Glens work reveals a continuity of shape and design to add to the gun and not take away from it. I would love to have a totally redone original looking vintage SXS, but not in the cards for me. This has to do. The next owner of my guns is going to have the option of restocking or leaving as is. To extend the uniqueness of the gun work Glen makes custom gun cases as shown below to compliment the gun it's made for. Not to knock the leather bound designs available. This is individualized with original artwork on the outside,on the accessory box and a handpainted Parker logo on the lid. What does the case carry? An extremely worn 1906 VH Parker, 28" with CYL/IC choke. A piece of history without a redo back to its original condition. A tribute to a working gun.......Last photo, To add to the unconventional, look what we do to perfectly good rifles. Raven Stalking Rifles are light, fast handling and quick as a fine upland SXS. How long before the BBS cops drop by and who will it be?? Randy
