Click on "New Checkering." Second row, far right.

Beautiful work.

I checkered a few stocks in my younger years when my eyes and hands worked better.  It's tough to do right.  I think it was in the late 60's that they started press checkering.  I was handling Dad's old Fox model B 20 gauge double and noted it was snickered insread of pressed. Not perfect or cut deep but pretty good for a utility gun. Wide borders are to cover the overruns.

I agree Ed. He did some great work for me as well.

Hi All, i have not seen prictures or seen any mention of the .22 "Vickers" on this site ,It was made as a one piece stock  the internals  were pretty much interchangable with the "BSA" but these were not enclosed in the action the same being held in a detatchable hanger .. The breech block attatched to the hanger ,went through a slot in the metal making up the barrel /breach   locating at the rear in a hole by a protrusion on the hanger and a screw  under the chamber end .. ..The barrel /breach was in one piece and  changing to a new barrel or converting one to a different caliber ment cutting of the old barrel threading what was left .. The original stocks were prone to breakage ,but they could be made into nice little guns ..  Rob
