Some time ago I was in contact with a gunsmith who specializes in turning Rumanian M93 and Dutch M95 Mannlichers into sporters and from the photos published does a magnificent job. I have lost his name and address and would like to know if anyone knows who I might possibly mean and how to contact him.

Stephen Coker is the name I had been racking my brains for. I don't know if he is still in business. The web site for his company evidently no longer exists.

Using the waybackmachine.org one of the pages mentions a "Mike Rowe" in "Northwestern Arkansas", maybe you could try finding him if someone here doesn't chime in.

Dutch. Not sure he takes work.

Mike Rowe posts on NE website, usually in the double rifle section. Stephen Coker was in NW Ark as well if I recall, built beautiful English style sling swivels and other accessories.

I have been working on a Dutch for the past few months, I could not find anyone either. So I just motored on. I have the metal finished and blued but the wood is the problem. I finally found a pattern and it is due back any day from the duplicator.
The project started out as a found complete action.
