Craig Libhart in Bainbridge Pa, top notch and will work with you regarding design, color or whatever. Great person to deal with and good communication. Keep up the good work Craig! See you at Allentown.

Mike,
Before you pull out your wallet and start throwing good money at a stockmaker, as him if he has a try gun. If he doesn't, you could end up paying a lot for wood and stocking for a gun that may not fit you at all, and with which you may not be able to hit a thing.
Stock fit is an individual thing, none of us are the same size shape, as the next man.
A try gun will determine in advance the amount of cast off or cast on, of the butt stock, it will also determine the correct drop of the stock and the length of pull. There are average measurements that are used by manufacturers but there isn't one size fits all. If your paying for a new stocking of your shotgun you will want it to fit correctly.

I'll echo the endorsement of Craig Libhard. He's an excellent craftsman and a very nice man. Dewey Vicnair is in Lancaster, PA and is also very good.

+ one for David Wills. I am sure there are some out there as good but I have never seen one better. Makes the most beautiful stocks I have ever seen. He has bent several stocks for me and has a couple of guns of mine now he is working on. david auburn,al

Another vote for the Stock Doctor.
Rich Cole is another option - he has inletted Perazzi blanks on his website that he will finish to your dimensions for something like $1900. I was very happy with the restocking job he did on a Beretta for me.
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

I am not certain of his timeline but you should at least look at what Toby Leeds in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin has done in shaping o/u stocks to more closely mimic the diamond wrists and thinner combs of English guns. He has an excellent take on a POW grip you might like to consider.
