In my opinion the question should be, What will it take to make me smile everytime I look at this gun? I have a Parker repo. that I bought years ago that is a beautiful gun that I can't do anything to personalize it so it's going to find a new home this summer. All my guns will have damascus barrels that I've redone, stocks that I've refinished and other touches that make them mine. Remember it's your gun, try to make it look like a well cared for old gun. Good luck: Mike
