Don't worry about posterity labeling you a "Bubba!" Just be as accurate as you can, do quality work, follow the Armourer's guidelines, then document your work so it won't look like a fake in the future, then roll up the document tightly into a scroll and insert it into the buttstock hole for posterity. Someone in a future generation will bless you for providing Provenance!
