Who knows of someone that does good work at a fair price? I need the front strap of my 1911 frame checkered, and thats one of the few things I don't do myself. I was going to see what Tom at Weapons Works wanted, but decided to check here first. Anyone with any ideas? Maybe even in Tucson if the price is right. I have friends that go down there all the time. Anyway, let me know.

The fine detail and patience required for checkering is probably beyond my reach. Plus, I checkered a stock once about a year ago, and the pain in my hands was terrible. Carpal Tunnel, multiple fractures and other injuries make working with my hands somewhat painful. But, I would still love to learn.

EGW does a really great job machine checkering front straps. They set up and run them once a month. If you time it just right your frame gets there the day before they run them, and you could get it done in a couple days. Just call and find out what day they're doing a run. Kevin |
