The more I use my Dickinson .410 for doves the more I want an ebony inlay forend tip on it. It has much longer than average splinter forend, slender and pretty with its' 30" barrels, and it's just crying for one. Or, I am at least.

My question is for stockers and others who have done this. How hard is it in comparison to the general inletting done when stocking a gun? I need opinions to decide if it's a project I want to tackle myself, or hire out. I'd just like some experienced opinions on the general complexity of the job. I intend to do a total refinish of the wood this winter, doing a sanded in oil finish, so beforehand would seem to be a perfect time for it to be installed.

Thanks, SRH
