http://www.lonespruce.net/images/861.jpg I am now restoring a Winchester 70 post WWII transition model that has seen better days. I have a rough formed stock I am fitting (and finishing) but would like to have it checkered in the early post war period prior to finishing. Does anyone know of a person who does checkering and would know or have access to the Win 70 checkering of the period?
