John I recut many a Remington 1100 pressed checkering panel. At least a hundred of them. Hated that plastic finish Remington used back then also. Would have been a much easier task without that RKW finish or whatever they called it. It was a finish best used on bowling pins. Thick, nasty stuff.
Did my own 1100s first . Then just about every other 1100 at several clubs I shot at. Back in those days we had a lot of trap shooters and the funny thing was that trap MC stocks were all much fancier wood than the B grade Skeet stocks. The regular a Skeet A grade wood was so bland it might as well been beech. They all had that glumly, thick plastic finish on them. First pass you have to clean out your cutters every inch or two.
