Junnie,
That a laser cut embellishment on the side of the stock could be embarrassing to your grandson which also could also have the effect that he could choose to not use the gun, except in your presence to please you of course. I would think that would be the opposite of what you want. Keeping a gift from a loved one out of respect is different than really cherishing the item itself. If it sits in his safe for his entire life unused, out of respect for you, have you given what you envisioned?

I can't recall how many funnie looking shirts my mother has bought me over the years, that I never wore, but piled up in my closet in the original packaging.

BTW, the Browning 42 G5 is a very nice, well made gun.
