Checkering

I have a Husqvarna rifle '96 (9.3x57 converted to 9.3x62), cock on closing, etc. that needs to be re-checkered. The pattern isn't standard nor is there any on the forend.

I wonder if anyone here would like to "fix it up a bit". I certainly don't need super quality work on it, and if it gets screwed up, what the heck, I'll just go ahead and re-stock it. Anyone interested in giving it a shot? Maybe someone just getting started in the trade, but at least a journeyman?

You may wish to contact Ahlmans in MN. They do good work at a reasonable price.

If you're willing to pay a fair price for well-executed checkering with quick delivery, try Tim at classiccheckering.com. Not necessarily the very best or fanciest but IMO he's BY FAR the best value for the money. BY FAR!

Folks:

Thank you for your responses, by p.m., here and by email.

The gun is not going to be fixed, alas. It failed a headspace test and with the little money I have in it, I'm just going to get my money back.
