Ya I would see how you could do that but even the weapons that DON'T have the custom stats (like the Zenith from ARR & Hyperconductive) which you get before that step you can't put them in the dresser (as shown in the screenshot). That's mainly what I'm talking about, is the steps in between the 1st & last that can't go in until you finish the step after the one you wanted just for the replica when again they don't have any meaning besides glamour anymore.
