Bill,
The Milhoan stock bears a strong resemblance to the NRA Springfield stock. By that, I mean the close pistol grip, nose of the comb, overall appearance. The cheekpiece is unique. The quality of the walnut that he used appears to be very high. It resembles a nice piece of Oregon Black walnut, but I could be wrong about that.

I also thought the comments regarding the complete building of guns to be remarkable. He did work at 3 Barrel Gun Co., so maybe that is where he got his experience. Its also remarkable that he worked to Axel Peterson in Denver.

I did some research on Chester Johnson of Vermillion, SD. It appears he was born in 1888 and died in 1958. He was married to Grace Dawson and they had a son, Peter William Johnson, who was born in 1923. Chester worked at a car dealership in Vermillion.
