I remember when hand checkering wood stocks was almost an art form. The price to have it done added a lot of dollars to the stock makers charges. I know all my attempts were dismal failures. As best I can recall, some rotary tools were made to speed up the process. Is the best checkering still done with hand tools tracking a few lines at a time? Are there some CNC or tracer machines that will checker?
With all the new non-wood stocks I wonder if checkering is still in demand.
Just wondering...
