Part 2 to my SMLE build

From Part 1 here: https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=58106&page=1

Another update to the SMLE project
Well, enough time has passed to where my mind starts comming up with other ideas as the rifle is still yet unfinished. I am going to go out and stick my neck on the chopping block to gain some feedback... and hopefully stop me from doing something "taboo".

I ended up having a new rifle stock duplicated from an original and is currently ( over the course of many months) being inletted for all the metalwork. In that time, i've wrestled with the idea of eithe rmaintaining the recent parkerized coating for a more authentic Lithgowicon Arms arsenal finish as it would have gone out as.... Or to really polish her up to a sharp and dark bluing and doll this girl up... seeing as none of the parts are original to the firearm.

What would you all suggest? Parkerizing (and further darkened) or a high polish blueing? IF I go the bluing route.... I've seen many images of an outstanding Durablue job that looks amazing and very very close to a legit bluing job. I might consider that for greater protection on my SMLE.

What are your thoughts?

I'd leave it now. The parkerizing looks good...
