Stock checkering

[MartyT]

Posted in the gunsmithing section but not getting a lot of bites.

Looking to get a couple stocks checkered and was wondering who in Canada does it and what others experiences have been with the work done.

Thanks in advance for your help

I would think the best in the country is Stillwater Restorations. I've sent out 6 or more guns for repairs, refinish, and re-checquer, and could not recommend more highly.

Jacob Strasser from Calgary checkered a custom stock for me, did a very nice job. jakobstrasserltd@gmail.com

I'm not sure if you want a classic wood stock checkered for looks or something practical anti-slip for hunting purposes. If the latter, there's another alternative that you can apply yourself here:

Out west here, Dennis Davidson in B.C . does great work as well.

It’s for walnut stocks so partially for aesthetics and partially functionality. But really more aesthetic.

Thank you for the names provided. Very much appreciated

CJ Dawe right here on gunnutz. Absolute master at the craft. His website is Stillwater Restorations.

A second plug for Jacob Strasser, he's done fine work for me.

Should definitely go for the tape, think of the savings

What one saves in one way, he pays for in another.

I believe the OP request checkering, not mall ninja crap.

AFAIK Jason does not do chequering, or at least that's what he told me on more than 1 occasion when asked. Re-finishing certainly, but not chequering.

Here’s the one Jacob did for me. It’s not a cheap add, I believe mine was $450 last year. Iv been dabbling in checkering a fare bit the past few years, the price reflects the time and attention to detail that goes into it. At $450, I found it a decent deal.








Please oh please don’t stick grip tape to your walnut stock lol

Grab yourself a set and get at er!

Decker what is that rifle? I like that rear sight. Beautiful chequering too

 

[Slimbo]

Looks like a custom stocked Brno No.2

Cheers to that, Iv done a lot of flats now, just started in my first practice stock, I’ll get the grasp one day!
