Elevate Your Firearm with Precision Checkering

TNT Gunstock Services offers expert gunstock checkering services designed to enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of your firearm. The checkering process not only improves grip but also adds a distinctive touch to your handgun, making it uniquely yours.

Checkering Process

1. Precision Cutting: Specialized hand tools are used to lay out and deepen your desired checkering pattern on your project. A range of custom checkering patterns are offered which can be tailored to your preferences.

2. Compatibility with Finishing: While checkering can be done on a finished scale, it is recommend to incorporate it during the refinishing process.

Length of Service

The checkering process typically takes 2-8 weeks to complete.

Shipping

Shipping a gunstock with no metal parts is generally straightforward because it is not a regulated firearm component under federal law. The main priority is to package the stock properly to prevent damage during transit. The U.S. Postal Service (USPS), UPS, and FedEx can all be used for shipping.

Packaging instructions

  1. Wrap the stock securely: Use foam wrap, bubble wrap, or heavy paper to create a protective cushion around the entire stock. Pay special attention to any delicate areas, like the forend or the comb. For very delicate items, consider double-wrapping or using a plastic bag with a volatile corrosion inhibitor for extra protection against moisture.

  2. Fill voids with packing material: Place the wrapped stock inside a sturdy cardboard box. Fill any empty space with foam peanuts, crumpled paper, or additional foam blocks to prevent the stock from shifting during shipping. The package should be tightly packed, and you should not hear or feel the contents moving when you shake it.

  3. Consider a hard case: For extra protection, you can place the stock in a hard-sided case inside a cardboard box. Some shippers even use PVC pipe with padded ends for maximum security.

  4. Seal the box securely: Use strong, reinforced shipping tape to seal all seams and edges of the box. Do not skimp on the tape.

Labeling and shipping tips

  1. Do not advertise the contents: The box should be unmarked and should not indicate that it contains gun parts.

  2. Purchase insurance: Since gunstocks can be valuable, it's wise to purchase shipping insurance for the full replacement value of the item.

Choose a carrier:

  1. USPS is often considered a flexible and accessible option for shipping gun parts that are not the receiver or frame. You can use a service with tracking and signature confirmation for extra security.

  2. UPS and FedEx can also be used, but keep in mind that their policies regarding "firearm products" can be complex, and some require a Federal Firearms License (FFL) for shipping certain components. For an item that is clearly just a stock with no regulated metal parts, this is less of a concern, but it's always best to check the latest policies.

  3. Document everything: Keep a record of the carrier, tracking number, and insurance details in case you need to file a claim.
