Had some time to kill today so I bit the bullet and fit the Japanese wood to my 1947 “stealth” Sweet 16. Doesn't look as good as the Belgium wood in my opinion but it looks better than the original cut stock. Before: After:
Hey if you can’t shoot it, I think I could bring myself to, it would be painful but I would survive. Just kidding. It looks very good. I would be proud to have it in my safe. Looks way better without that thick butt pad
