I have been using Great American Gunstocks for over 10 years for my restorations/upgrades both rifle and shotgun. I've ordered wood for "plain jane" to exhibition. Never have I or my customers had anything but the highest of praise for Henry Pohl and Bill Mikel the shop foreman. I've read the above "horror stories" and wonder if perhaps there are 2 Great American Gunstock companies. My experience is and has been so very positive. The toatal number of stocks they have duplicated/produced for me and my customers is in excess of 40. Best, Dr. BILL
