Had my 22WMR out the the other day and I had gloves on my hands. That sucker was slippery! I don't ever recall seeing checkering on a laminate stock, is there a reason for this? Does plywood not take to checkering well? Any other solutions?

Thanx,

I just wear gloves with the little rubber grippies on 'em -- currently I like the Manzellas but there are a zillion brands.

I sold a Holland laminate for that very reason--nearly dropped a $3000 rifle out of a barn loft I was using for a deer stand because it was so slick...Now I got a McM with 'Texture"....

Perhaps, one could some "mole-hair" like the bow hunters do. Press it on for your slick, slippery days hunting, then peel it off when you want it to look pretty. Really, one needs to checker darn near the whole stock from the pistol grip forward to get a sure safe grip under a lot of conditions, the pretty little checkered patterns aren't always where they are needed at times. I've used rough adhesive tape or the old style rough pre-vynyl type black electricions tape when even the checking didn't do much good it was so slick. My fiberglass stock with the textured paint is the best, but it's really ugly.

One of the best things I have found to eliminate this problem is non-skid skate board covering. This stuff is basically a sheet of sand paper of what ever grit you choose, that has a self adhesive backing. I've used it on rifle stock forarms and grips. I've used it on the back straps of auto pistols. It's not so abrasive, that you will notice it on bare skin, but it will do the job with gloves. This stuff can be found at any skate board shop and is cheaply priced. Just cut what ever size or pattern you want and peel and stick.

I have one of Bill Shehane's laminate stocks and the checkering is perfect. I can't see "sticking" anything to my stock.

you could also try mixing some sand in with clear poly. mask off the area you want to add texture to and apply with a small sponge brush in very thin coats.
have used this with paint on my bike to get a very nice paint effect....
