Fin:
All the advice above is relative to craft and value. For a Parker, the advice is valid. For a finer gun, there is no substitute for perfect hand work. ANY "scratches" are not an option. And ANYTHING but a perfect fit is not worthy. This cannot be accomplished by ANY sort of jig. It takes careful and long hand work. One more thing... anyone who charges $35 to "professionally" fit a pad is either a slave labourer or a bodger. No other option.
