Checkering advice needed
I have a couple shotguns that I want to "freshen" the checkering on. Before attacking one of my fine guns we're gonna start on a sanded block of walnut to get a "feel", then a butchered VH stock I replaced (shortened 2" then a chunk re-inserted later) . The checkering is very well worn on the fore end as well as the stock grip from countless days afield. I THINK what I need is a basic set of tools in the correct LPI, would like to have a gauge, etc. My question is whose tools and which to purchase? I don't want to spend a mint but know quality tools are a better investment, typically produce better results. Any thoughts and guidance appreciated.
