Gun Stock Checkering

[JohnsonMBrandon]

Does anyone have any idea what tools it would take to be able to checker a gun stock? Its something that has been of interest to me. I know there was a little tool at the Charlotte show, but at 300 dollars it seemed a little out of line. Any other ideas?

Couldn't find anything from Midsouth. Anyone else know of any other tooling places?

I can remember checkering gun stocks as a kid -- a friend of mine made several custom guns and we used to compete for the nicest checkering patterns -- it is fun and east work. Here is a basic starting set of checkering tools. If you do some googling on gun-smithing, I'm sure you will come up with more sources and patterns, too.
