Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Checkering or stippling a laminate stock

Has anyone had a laminate stock done with either method?

Would like to add some texture to a smooth finished stock.

Talk to Tim Smith-Lyon at Classic Stocks. He did a first class checkering job on a laminated stock of mine.

I finished this Boyd Jon Sundra Laminate with a tung oil/urethane product from Brownells. I sent it to Errol Case in MO for Winchester pattern checkering. It wasn't that expensive and looks better, IMO, than stippling.

Thanks fellers...

That's a pretty laminate stock. I like it very much.

I've had Ahlman's in Morristown, MN, checker a couple of laminatged stocks and have come away pleased with the results.

Bought a CZ527 several years ago, very accurate for a factory rifle. but I just hated the stock, finished and bedded a laminated Boyds stock but was hard to hold onto. had a local gunsmith checker it for me but the price was shocking (ask price first)

Have checkered and stippled many stocks. In fact made some of my "extra" money as a checkerer for a few years.

Stippling is easy to do by yourself. Just draw an outline of the the area, then tap everything inside with a small nail set.

Checkering is tougher!
