Swap Henry X to Straight Wood Grip

I've seen plenty of topics asking about swapping to a pistol grip style stock, but all I've wanted is to have the straight grip stock ( and with fancy wood )

So far here is what I think I'll need to source:

• Trigger Plate ( Model X / pistol grip version is curved )

• Stock & Forearm ( can get from Henry - I'm looking for Brass plate on the end )

• Barrel Band - The longer forearms use a band instead of the endcap - so I need the bad for a round barrel

Questions:

• Will I need a different large loop lever than the stock large loop that comes with the X?

• Anyone have experience with De-blueing the receiver? I'm looking to apply case-hardened look to it

• I'm thinking about putting Skinner peeps and a short riser for a Dot - advice welcome.
