Did he restock to identical dimensions and feel to the original?
As I contemplate the restocking of a gun with an extension that fits me prefectly now, one big concern I have is the restock will change the gun, in particular the especially lean and delicate wrist (grip) that feels perfect to me.

I wanted mine changed....the original stock, even after bending wasn't perfect for me. I gave Paul the dimensions and he finished the stock perfectly, just as I had instructed. It is much nicer now and I don't have to look at that hideous extension anymore. If you have your gun restocked, you must realize these are hand made and will not be a DNA clone of your original, but the better the stocker, the more likely you will get what you want.
Socialism is almost the worst.

Buzz, don't get us wrong we're not questioning you and are very happy for you, but its a Holland & Holland or to put it another way probably the most perfect firearm one can buy.

Absolutely beautiful.
Paul did a full re-stock for me on a 28 a few years ago; I could not have been more pleased w/ his work.
Yes, he was @ H&H before coming to the USA.
Always looking for small bore Francotte SxS shotguns.
