Default Holden Stock Maker?

Anyone know of a guy in Holden AB that makes custom rifle stocks??? Heard he is really good and had his card but can't find it or remember his name.
Thanks

Smith's name is Don Thompson. dnsthompson@shaw.ca
I have not had work done by Don .. but have spoken with him..and he says he does chambering work on precision rigs as well as the regular "fixing" end of the business.

Default Don Thompson

I've seen some of Don's work. I'm haveing a stock built for my 25-06 . He really goes over everything with you to make sure of what you want. I find a real good guy to talk to.He just has a small shop in a small town but it looks like he does a find job.

I had Don chamber a barrel this past summer, a 6.5 X 47L (my reamer) on a Stiller action with Krieger barrel. FWIW the rifle would probably make the "My rifle shoots 1/2" AVERAGE @ 100M" Challenge if I get it out ..had almost forgot I had it Also had Don do some bedding work. He seems to be a fine gentleman and does decent work.

Default Highly Recommend Him

Hi: I have known Don for 20 plus years. He is the real deal and a honest man.

He has shown me around his shop and the work he does. To my eye his work seems very good and he takes his time to get things done right.

He is the only Alberta dealer authorized to sell and install KDF muzzle brakes...
