J.B.Patton, If I install a 'Oval'or Individual letters in a stock that is "Finished,ie. Polished,I have a "process" that allows me to match stock finishes'. It a lot easier on a Re-Stocker of course,but when the oval has been previously engraved,Monogram etc,"Great care has to be used". I dont find it necessary to completely refinsh the stock. cc/dt
