There are so many different types of chisels you may need to complete a gun stock that it's hard to make a recommendation. If you are interested in inletting chisels, I prefer very small ones. I bought several many years ago, when I was building muzzleloaders, for inletting locks (sidelocks, very similar to shotgun sidelocks), stock inlays, etc. at Friendship, IN at the NMLRA national matches from a fellow that made them by the name Van Dreische, I think. They are very small chisels of all shapes that are easily sharpened to a razor edge and are easily controlled for fine work. They are palm chisels. I'm sure there are others for sale that are as good or better.
Let me stress that I am not a professional stocker, but have done some in my time and really like the tiny palm chisels for inletting. Others more qualified may well disagree. I am certainly no authority on stocking.

P.S. I'll try to get a photo of some of them today and post it on this thread.
