I got a small plane and started taking it down this afternoon. I feel like I am drawing a crayon mustache on the Mona Lisa. I sure hope I can get it finished and blended in to match without refinishing the whole stock, but I guess if it needs refinish so be it. I did do a small area with Tru-oil earlier to test for color, and it seemed to match OK, I just hadn't done enough coats to match the sheen. If the comb comes out OK I will probably take a little out of the thickness of the butt and fit a factory repro plate.
