I have a GHE 12 that was in rough shape. Smashed pad, worn checkering and stains/slight pitting on the barrels. I asked Brian to clean up and rechecker the wood, leaving the battle scars and patina there and to replace the pad. He re-blued the barrels and nitre blued the trigger guard. Recheckered the stock and forend. He did a wonderful job.

I have a number of pics which I can't seem to download to this site. They are in a Zip file which is too big.

I'll chime in too. As soon as I drop the first birds with it I'll show the Repro that broke at the wrist under only recoil while shooting clays that Brian has put right. I believe he has some photos and the work is stellar. I've just been waiting to get to my Grouse and woody woods to put it to use. He stocked it to my dims and I don't shoot clays but my attitude toward the gun and Luck? I shot 74 in 100 the first time and only time out this summer with the gun.

Just wanted to share a photo of a recent restock Brian did for me. I have an unusually long LOP and Brian did an amazing job converting my 0 frame to a straight grip. Every detail right down to the shield looks incredible. He also fitted a pair of 20 ga tubes I had to it. I couldn't be more pleased. I just spent the last week in Maine hunting grouse and woodcock and this is quickly becoming my favorite gun for the task.
