You guys are right. What was I thinking??? I am a little embarassed I even posted the question. I to am a believer of keeping guns as original as possable. And alowing for artistic expression after all, the craftsmen at P&V probably apprentised for an average of 15 years each. And to watch a no talent hack like my self actually have to pay someone to ruin their effort with a fist full of 0000 steel wool would be a travesty. Sometimes I think I invent ways to spend money and complicate matters. Thanks guys. Paul
