Yes, the checkering was simply awful. I wondered if Tamid threw up when he saw it. I've seen a few amateur jobs that looked like they were scratched into a stock with a sharp nail, but they didn't cost what these abominations cost. Some of the lines in the grip of the Manufrance R1 look like they have gone at least 7 lines off course. Little Stevie Wonder could do a better job.

How could even a CJO or a Dewey Vicknair repair something like that? Even men with their talents can't put back wood that has been filed away. So they would have to sand the stocks down below surrounding metal in order to start over.



Good point Keith. I would as least call them to see if anything can be done.
