    Checkering tools

    Anyone know where i can get my mits on some tools?.. Just watched old Larry Potterfield do a nice checkering job on a new Midway USA Youtube clip.
    got me thinking i could spruce up my Ruger pretty easily.

    Dem-Bart Master Checkering Kit will run you about 65 USD from the states ~20 NZD to ship with NZ Post so call it 100 NZD for a complete set up.

    Cost of the tools is cheap, cost of screwing up a stock a bit more?

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    I believe you can make checkering tools from riffler files.
