The little A Grade 20ga I acquired last fall had some stock issues. I sent it to Mark; he was quoting 2 month turn around which is pretty remarkable in itself. Got it back yesterday; here are some quick cell phone pics before and after which aren't the best but you get the ideas...
Gouges in the pistol grip...
[i
Gouge in the forend checkering...
Chip in stock toe (he replaced the pad with a repro butt plate)...
Poorly repaired cracks in the stock...
Mark was very accommodation, great communication, and price was very reasonable. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to use him again!

Very nice, it took almost a year for me to get my 16ga Sterlingworth back from the guy that worked on mine.
The work was excellent, but it was a very long wait....
