I remember post a while back from a gentleman who was offering to checker stocks for free or very little money. Could someone point me in his direction?? Kudude | ||

A year or so ago Bill Soverns was offering a simple 4-panel checkering job for $85 plus shipping. I think that offer has expired but you can check with him. Bill Soverns John Farner If you haven't, please join the NRA! | |||

That's $85 per panel. Good luck! | |||

Quite a while back, there was someone who was just getting into customizing and checkering gun stocks and handgun panels. He was actually looking for people to volunteer their stocks or panels to practice on. The work would be free, I don't know about the postage. I can't remember who it was, but it was a while back.

Morning Hawkins like in real estate, where location is everything, in a post, context is everything. Bill's CURRENT prices aren't the question, as we all knew, and he posted, that the $85 was a temporary thing. Bill indeed was offering a nice $85 total checkering job, which several members took advantage of https://forums.accuratereloading.com/eve/forums?a=search...Type=1&search=Search Does Bill get $85 a panel these days? couldn't tell you, but his work is worth at least that much. Did he offer, in the past, an $85 job? yep opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

That was a long time ago, since then he has been accepted into the ACGG. And, as Jeff said, it was a one time special. Websites are often the last thing to get updated by a smith. Especially a busy one. Call or email him.  Aut vincere aut mori | |||

Doesn't that work out to $3 per hour?  A good checkering job is worth at least $400, if not much more. | |||

If you want a low priced checkering job you cannot do much better than Ahlman's. They also do barreling and other gunwork for reasonable prices. | |||

My price list is correct. I did offer a complete $85 job at one time but in the end there is just no money in it. | |||

$85 would just cover the aspirin and Yukon Jack to recover from doing checkering, for me. | ||

I'll do it for you for free. I'm not even qualified to peel a carrot, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night. ______________________________ "Truth is the daughter of time." Francis Bacon | |||

Now that's funny... what the hell is in the water in Houston these days! And I have an example of Bill Sovern's checkering in my gun safe... it's worth $85/panel.  On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||
