Hi Folks,

I have an RBL-12 and would like to have the checkering re-cut. Can anyone recommend a good smith in New England who would perform this work?

Thanks,
David

Hi I am also looking for a good checkerer(?), I live in NJ but would send mine out.

While not in New England he is quite close - Dan May at Classic Gunstocks in Cato, NY (near Oswego/Syracuse). He has a web site.
He has done quite a bit of stock work for me - from complete new stocks to recutting the miserably fine checkering on Beretta O/U's. His work is as good as anyone I have ever used over the last 40 years - and I've used just about everyone!
He is an honest guy with respect to 1. giving you accurate cost estimates, and 2. delivery dates. He is busy but his work is well worth the wait in my opinion.

This list must be very old.

I can highly recommend Abe Chaber, his current contact info is

Address: 40 FAIRMOUNT DR,. DANBURY, CT 06811
Voice: 1-203-748-1830

Nicola DiGualielmo passed away several years ago.

Steve Torborg closed the Armonk Gunshop about 10 years ago, he's no longer gunsmithing.



My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
