If you want the job done right call Paul Hodgins. He is expensive but worth every penney if you plan on keeping the gun. Paul stocked my Manton 400 and did an exceptional job.
Expensive is putting it mildly. He charges $4,500.00 for a buttstock now and $3,000.00 for a splinter forend! And at least a year time wise. His prices are absurd, he must think he's still at the bench at H&H. 
Commandcar: Try Steve Billeb he is the founder of the custom gun makers guild and is one hell of a stockmaker. His prices are very reasonable and you can have your gun back within 6-8 months done to proper English specs.

Since I need my Jeffery sidelock restocked I called and spoke with Steve Billeb this morning. He is a very nice guy but admitted he hasn't stocked any British doubles. We spoke at length about how important it is to get the correct style and he felt if he had an original stock to go off he felt he could do a good job. In my case there isn't and he suggested a few other stockers to consider.
That's strange he would say that to you. Because he stocked my WW Greener 360 #2 and also did a Fraser boxlock for me that turned out great years ago. Sounds like perhaps he didn't want to take your project? Of course mine were boxlock guns like the Evans in question, I know its a much bigger task to do a sidelock which may have been his hesitation with your inquiry.
