I did almost same project not long ago, but chose to stick with the PG and sweet cressent butt.
Question for you................ Did it shoot way high when you were done?
Mine does, I have to get a higher front sight, but haven't done it yet.
I did one that is almost identical to yours. It does not have the nice grain in the butt stock. Yes, mine shoots high because I used the original front sight, I have another one on order. The original sight was on a ramp, now it's dovetailed into the barrel with no ramp. Of course, it will shoot high.
Your rifle looks great, specially with that stock.
