"I've had the pleasure of having a couple of rifle stocks from Gordon Cusens for a CZ 435 PH Express and Charles Boswell 450/400 double rifle.
Gordon has an extreme passion for working with walnut, and crafting exceptional stocks, he is amongst' the best in the world.
I believe if you are restocking a rifle, spend that extra few hundred dollars (or a thousand or two) and enjoy the stunning beauty of premium walnut."

"Some time ago Gordon guided me on an exciting Buffalo hunt, and a portion of our time was discussing dangerous game rifles and stocks.
This has resulted in 2 stunning walnut stocks, that suit my tall frame and long arms, yet the appearance is proportional and the balance works perfectly.
The finished rifles are admired by all who see and handle them, and are a pleasure to use."

"I purchased a Mauser 'Plezier' rifle that could not be imported into the US due to new firearm restrictions.
I had a friend contact Gordon to see if he would duplicate
the original stock for me. Gordon accepted the task and in reasonable time he had the master pattern made and my stock duplicated.
I couldn't be happier with the results! Dealing with Gordon was a pleasure from beginning to end.
Of equal importance, I now know where I can lay my hands on a correct 'Plezier' machined stock."

"Geoff Slee introduced me to Gordon in 2008. Gordon makes beautifully made, exquisitely detailed stocks, both machined and cut from the block.
He has detailed knowledge of the many facets of custom work and the gun trade. If you are considering having a stock machined and appreciate beautiful wood,
precise machining and superb craftsmanship, have a yarn with Gordon. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

"My son and I bought several rifle stock sets from Gordon over the last couple of years and have been delighted with the quality of his work and his selection of timber.
The attention to detail of the machining and finish is second to none.
Discussions before the start of each project are very helpful. Gordon has a wealth of knowledge in his building custom rifles and has helped me immensely with my projects."

" Gordon's work certainly surpasses all expectations!
He is an extremely competent perfectionist who delivered exactly what I requested - a left-handed classic stock with several special features.
The pattern stock was posted to me in advance to ensure it was what I wanted.
Excellent service and quality of work on both the stocks that he supplied ! "
