Paul Hodgins is as good as anyone working today, in my opinion. He is expensive but you get what you pay for. By way of comparison, We are re-stocking a Holland & Holland 12-bore for a client in the UK right now. The total cost, including wood, to re-stock the butt and forend is £6,500 plus VAT. Without the forend, you can reduce the cost by £1,000. Getting the gun to the UK is trickier if it is post 1898, as you need a UK individual import and export licence as well asa USA for m 6 from the ATF dept. It is not 'difficult' but it does require someone to do it and it takes time and therefore costs money.
