I've seen your stock work first hand Jerry, and you don't have to take a back seat to anyone either. I have no idea how old Mr. Trevallion is, say a recent foto of him and the late Mike Mcintosh together, they became good friends indeed--Mike also commented that the stockmaker is really the artisan that makes a bespoke gun shoot where its owner looks. Barrels, chokes, actions, trigger pulls, timed ejectors are all a factor too.

I always liked what the late "Cactus Jack" O'Connor said- something like "I'd rather have a stock of fine walnut checkered and oil finished and plain blued steel, than exaborate engraving- Taste is all personal, one man's Monet is another man's Manet I suppose- but a fine job of stock fitting, especially a sidelock- that is the "eye candy" for me!!
