I really don't understand how they can screw up the checkering that badly. Most of the major gun makers have been using machine cut checkering for at least ten years. Surely if someone like remington can turn out stocks with flawless CNC machine cut checkering then galazan could do so also. I don't understand the insistence upon doing it with a laser when the results are suspect and there are proven low cost methods that give better results.
The algorithm is the tough part to CNC work. The computer simply follows its program, that's all it can know, and developing that program for a specific gun is not cheap. Remmington and other makers turn guns out left and right since they are production makers and that's how they absorb the cost. The laser works behind the same principle, but that cost is probably less than using a CNC.
