Hi,
Messrs. Petrov and Hughes gave me a heads-up when this forum was
started. I look in from time to time and have been very impressed. Great forum! Thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction.
Guess I better explain what those pics SDH posted are.
Both forends belong to 'baby' Farquharson's. The first pic is a
.17 HMR and is checkered at 24 LPI. The second pic is of some flat top checkering I did on a rifle that was stocked and engraved by Larry Peters. A take-down with 3 barrels(and forends). 24 or 26 LPI. I don't remember which. The wedge plates and wedge are from the muzzle loader trade as SDH explained. And yes, if you want to do flat top checkering, you have to make your own tools.
