    Send the stock one direction and the barrel another.
    Both will arrive back sorted.

    It might be worth having a word with Sandwell Field Sports.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    For the chequering speak to Craig p on here, he is the best around for hand cut chequering. I suspect he can also offer some good advice on where to send the action for the other work you want doing too. Added to that he’s a top bloke too 👍😎

    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.

    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.
