malkiserow Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I need to get some grip on a new shotgun stock. Is there a nice alternative to checkering? And who in the Midlands might do it? Cost ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westward Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 One alternative is to do what Richard Faulds does and have nothing at all except the smooth walnut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjimlad Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Stippling, often seen on target rifles. The usual FWB target spring air rifle has it as do the grips of a lot of target air pistols. Not sure how it is done or who might do it though ! https://www.google.com/search?q=stippling+gun#q=stippling+rifle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmick Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 would the deep chequering like that what the 682gold e has be enough. it is very coarse and gives good grip.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Do you just not want chequering? Corse deep chequering offers more grip than fine high detail stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I like checkering but the gun in question does jot warrant much money being spent on it..... As it will be a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I've got a stippling punch or around here somewhere does impressed chequering US style if you can carve stock and use a hammer you can use these easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds interesting.... I was thinking of making a ball punch. Have you any pictures of the finish your punch makes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraivi Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) Have a look at a couple of remmy 1100'S, most of them have the imprinted type pattern welshwarrior is on about. Ther was a load if single line cutters for sale on flea bay the other day at around £5 a pop. You only need one and do your own layout. A decent pattern has gotta be worth paying a fiver.

welshwarrior Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I've not used them it's the same stuff as the Remi 1100 and 870s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett1985 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Stippling with a dremel or similar is infact extremely easy. And very satisfying! Dont be shy and have a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
