Meh....
Nice work Mr Dixon
I bet @pmclaine is gonna be thinking about some sexy checkering like that.....
I would dig that on a nice pre-64 build.....0
@LongRifles Inc. Done by hand or do you have a program for that on the CNC?

Im more of a plain Jane guy.
Checkering would interfere with the rubbing on of the lotion.
Stock repairing is amazing.
There is a member at the CMP forum that bought a barn of WWII rifle wood.
There is some really history in those stocks.
He has done some amazing restorations to the point of inletting individual grafts of wood with grain chosen to match that makes damage disappear.
Kudos to guys like him and LRI with skills.
Nothing near as hard to do on my stock you have Chad......is it done yet

It's all handwork. IMO "real" checkering is always going to be a hand operation. The production laser stuff just lacks the resolution and sharpness that a checkering file brings to the table. I've wondered if I could duplicate the process with my 5 axis as you really need the ability to present the part to the tool in a variety of ways. Maybe someday I'll devote some time and mess with it.
Thanks Chad. That was part of the question in my pea brain when I asked.
That checkering looks more like the work on an old Dakota or other nice hand checkered rifle vs the “modern” machine worked stuff. .
I use that as an example as a good friend is their nephew and has one of their rifles. A lightweight 300 WM...... ? the stock on it is unreal. It was picked and made for the owners wife.....
