Have you considered a Butt transplant, David Travallion would be the man.

The posters that are expressing reverse snobbery should be aware that it often comes off as plain old jealousy!

Personally, I wish I had a 16ga H&H Royal in the condition & configuration that justified restocking to my specifications by a top stockmaker.

If the gun was such that the expense of a complete restock was questionable I would give serious consideration to a butt transplant assuming the head of the stock was in good shape. I've seen several of these done that were virtually undetectable.

The guy in the photo posted by Edwardian could use a butt transplant to get rid of that thing.

I wonder how long it took the old men to completely make a stock. I mean, those Englishmen who had spent their entire careers stocking guns. I've seen a lot of what were originally medium to low priced guns that displayed spectacular stock work.

Another thought: why do we never hear of sending a gun to Spain for restocking? Seems they have some incredible craftsmen over there.

Good one! The gentleman on the shooting stick doesn't look all that happy. Maybe he forgot to unfold the seat or needs to see a proctologist.
