I know some of you have been looking for a source for good checkering and I wanted to pass along an individual I have had great luck with. I have sent 4 stocks to Bob Oates this year and all of them turned out spectacular. He has very reasonable rates and quick turn around. I just sent him my stock with pictures of pattern I wanted and he did the rest. He also made some very helpful suggestions on how to modify the pattern to work better on a couple of my stocks. Keep in mind Im not a stockmaker, Im sure my stocks were not as symmetrical as they should be! He can be reached st 989-773-4314 or by email at rdoatesmtphotmail.com. See below for examples of my stocks-

All of my jobs ran between $220-250. You can also go to Guns International under custom checkering in gunsmithing services and see some more examples of his work

The two on the left are for my pre 64 and pre war model 70's, one of the other goes on a g33/40 and the mannlicher stock is for a Brno 21
