    Thanks Rikard that looks just what I’m looking for. I must of passed his workshop dozens of times in the last few years I will certainly pop in. It is refreshing to see how straight forward he is with his pricing though. Cheers👍🏼

    I had some skip line checkering done by James a few years ago when he first started, it was good but not brilliant, hopefully he's got better over the years, Craig P would be my choice.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Original 35

    A pal of mine liked to refurbish rifles. Not professional, just for fun as he enjoyed making guns look nice and hopefully shoot better. After a few stocks refinished he decided he wanted to get a kit and try his own checkering. I'll add the photos, of before and after. I think he did a cracking job. He just watched a few tutorials and went at it slowly. Rifle was a original 35 ok ish condition that shot well for what it was. After his work on internals and his stock work. He got the rifle off of me cheaply. I now want it back lol. Maybe something to try your hands at. By something cheap and just have a go.

    Craig P for me as well but he is extremely busy, Still waiting for him to fit one of mine in after many months but he will get back to you when time allows. One of the best so be prepared to wait. Col.
