There is a person who posts on one of the gun sites who will stripe and refinish a plain stock to make it look like English Walnut. I think your CHE is a good candidate for this work. I would not even consider restocking your gun. It looks like a very good job as is.

Those breeches look like they could be used to test small nuclear devices! The stock work does look excellent. I agree with Bill; I'd consider having the finish dolled up some with some striping, maybe some reddish or darker coloration and a nice oil finish.

great ideas! Thanks for the suggestions. If anyone runs across his name, I might consider the striping and refinish of the stock as it is not original anyway. At least it could be made to look more like the original colors maybe, and then several years from now when I am not putting 3 kids through school, I might be able to afford a real nice set of original wood type done to the factory specs. Hope to join for real and order a letter for the gun to get more history and info on it. It might have been in the family the whole time. Do the letters state who the original buyer was?

Try this link http://www.larsongunart.com/ I believe Mark Larson is who Mr. Murphy was trying to think of.

Cheers
Marcus

Lucius: I would suggest Jim Kelly at The Darlington Gun Works, Darlington , South Carolina
It was he who re-stocked Nash Buckingham's "Bo Whoop". He has done refinishing and colouring gun wood for me and the results were always excellant.

Best Regards, George
