I know it's crude with a host of troubles but, could a fella with some talent (in other words, not me) sharpen it up and make it look better? It's a Zastava mini-Mauser so it's quite different quality-wise from what I usually see here. Translated: it's not really worth throwing tons of money at it. Still and all, I like it and the wood has some character.  Thanks!

Hoot,
It's only MONEY!
How much are you willing to spend?
At $100 per hour, how many hours will it take?

Hoot,
That can easily be made to look fantastic. Do you live in the Socialist Republic of Minnesota? If so I know someone who can make your stock look fabulous.
Regards,
Jeff

JNW, yessir, right in the Heart of the Beast, St. Paul. I know about Alhman's but are there others?
All, Thank you. Never having checkered (checked?), I wasn't sure if it was salvageable or a matter of starting over.
Cheers,
Hoot

Where can I find basic instructions on how to refresh checkering? My initial efforts with a single cutter got ugly very fast.
Thanks.

Try one of Brownell's bent needle files in medium cut. They track in a very controlable manner.
