Too bad none of the checkeres I know can’t or won’t do the flat top checkering that most of our vintage guns were originally cut with. Guess main reason is it’s incredibly difficult to properly do.
Which brings up another point. Many people think the checkering on their guns is worn out, sometimes being barely visible and flat. I’ve found that it’s most often not wear but the thin grooves flat top is cut with has filled in with oils and crud. Best way to ruin a vintage gun is to cut sharp point checkering. Just doesn’t look right regardless of how well it’s cut.
