Note: “Tough Issues” can add to the price, depending on the extent of the damage. I don’t do initial checkering from scratch. Often that’s just enough to give new vitality to old, gunked-up checkering. If at all possible, I recommend Hyper-cleaning instead of repointing. I don’t recommend repointing in most cases, preferring to discuss on an individual basis. Hyper-cleaning gives restored height appearance to the diamonds by getting the originally cut grooves truly clean, making the checkering ‘crisp’, looking nearly as good as labor-intense repointing, at a fraction of the cost (see below for info on repointing). Hyper-cleaning is a hand cleaning, deep between all the diamonds. Many times, however, hand grease and general gunk buildup from years of use are deeply ingrained between the little diamonds of the checkering, making the checkering appear dull, sort of flat.Īlthough finish removal takes off the thin layer of the old finish in the checkering, this gunk is often so impacted in tiny crevices not well sealed by the finish, a lot of it doesn’t come out with the finish removal. On checkered stocks, removal of the old finish from the checkering is standard. This process is well worth doing if the checkering is in good shape (no crushed diamonds), but lacks a crisp look because of nearly invisible gunk deep in the checkering cuts. Seal and refinish entire stock with highest quality oil-blend hand-done from start to finish.Remove the entire old finish from stock and checkering (if applicable).The amount depends on variables such as type of wood ease/difficulty of old finish removal extent and location of dents, gouges, scratches coats required, etc. Current Refinishing Pricing for most gunstocks: Photos aren’t usually needed, but sometimes “picture worth 1000 words”. Emailing me a few digital photos of the gunstock, showing its flaws, sometimes helps in determining the labor involved. Once I get your initial email (refer to Contact page), along with the basics on your firearm, I’ll be able to give you a price on refinishing.
