Just picked this up at the local recycle shop at the dump for $10....a few mods and I can see a checkering cradle.

Since no one commented, I will. Nice find, and I think ten bucks in Australia is like $2.75 here.
Now show some checkering.

Looks great- maybe a bit wobbly but that can be corrected.

Close but no cigar! $7.50 USD

Yes, with a few mods on the pivot and a different mount for the buttstock, it would be quite useable.
At the moment I'm working on making some cutters to do flat top checkering.

It was a joke.

I know

I have one just like that but it has a trailer ball hitch so you can change the angle on it in a vise..

I have not used it for the last 5 years, I have a great lady in Vegas do my checkering...

Who is that?

Was it not a checkering cradle before? Because that's all I can see...

Can I ask who the lady in Vegas is that does your checkering. I have a rifle ready to be done. Thanks.

I don't think so, it only has two "cups" and no provision for the butt.
