| Excellent checkering cradle!! Remember the old NRA Gunsmithing Guide? I took the plans for a poor man's checkering cradle that started with what was essentially a fancy sawhorse, and I turned the project into a shooting bench by replacing the checkering cradle part with a shooting benchtop. The first try was way too wobbly so after a ton of beefing up the project it worked great. At the time, you couldn't buy a portable benchrest, and my club had no benches on the pistol ranges. I was doing a lot of handloading handguns for accuracy and benchresting them, so I needed something I could throw in the back of my pick-up. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Hi Mark, This photo shows a Mauser stock that I used to practice checkering. I checkered and re-checkered this stock so many times before doing my first checkering job. Being walnut it was a good one to practice on.
