Hi Duane,
Welcome to ALR. I've never reworked a GPR, but I did do a CVA Kentucky make-over that was a lot of fun. Here's a post of another member's rework of a GPR....

As far as tools for reworking the stock, I would think some flat and round files and rasps. The Nicholson 4 in 1 is a handy file, rasp combo, available at most big box home improvement stores. Sandpaper or scrapers, stain, finish and elbow grease. Have fun.

I've built/rebuilt a couple of gpr's. About the only thing that has to be done is file off about 1/2 the thickness of the cheek piece. Beyond that it's all cosmetic. All you'll need is a couple of bastard and smooth cut files and sand paper. If you refit any parts that are inletted poorly and bed them with epoxy you're finished gun will look much better. You can also file a molding around the cheek piece witch looks good. When finishing the wood you'll need to fill the pore in the wood or it will take forever for you're finish to fill in. Done right it will look and function most satisfactory.
