Rp,
I would, but he specifically asked to remain anonomous. He agreed to do some work for me tentatively out of a growing friendship over the years. I believe he prefers to work on his own guns.

I just read the comments about some not liking to have guns re-case colored just for the looks. In my case, I strip and refinish stocks, just for the looks and if I am going through all that trouble, as well as having the action tuned, as well as some other "cosmetic" treatments, why not have it re-colored. I for one like the beauty of case colors that are fresh and vibrant.

Steve,
There are some horror stories about recasing. I have heard of warped frames and cracked frames. I have not personally experienced these things since I have only done one recase myself and own only a few that were recased when I bought them.
