Who is the best at installing leather covered pads and while I'm at it, bending stocks? Have a straight stocked english SXS that I'd like to have a leather covered pad installed on and have the stock bent straight down as it is much too high. Thanks for any information you can give me.

I haven't seen any leather pads done in this country that rival the work done by James Flynn. His work is impeccable and always looks right. I had a leather pad done by Flynns, a very classy pig skin pad done in "oxblood" that was absolutely beautiful.

"Had"? Did you sell that gun?
Gerry, he is not stroking you. Flynn's work on that pad was flawless.

David Yale's wife, Kathy, from Colorado does some beautiful pads as well.

New England Custom in NH make very fine pads and also do excellent stock bending.

I would second James Flynn - he does great work. Trouble may be in scheduling the work.

Del Whitman put a leather-covered pad on a Grant sidelever I owned. It was perfect.
