Jerry,
I like the plain rifles the best when comparing the work of different makers.
During the depression Bob Owen was in Arizona building houses. He later returned east and went to work for Winchester in their custom shop. It seems he did a little stock work when working for Winchester on the side but I've never seen a rifle that I knew he made when he was out West. When the war broke out he moved to Port Clinton, Ohio to work on the M1-Carbine. After the war he stayed in Port Clinton and made stocks until his death in 1959.
