Grip stippling on rifle stocks

[Stearinlys]

Hey RS,

Has anyone done or had done stippling on their gunstocks? I'd be interested to see your designs, or how it turned out and what your process was!

I have a 1/8" air pencil Dremel that I've used for many a 2-stroke port job and a ball bit, so I figure that should work out ok.

Thanks!

I would use the epoxy method. Spread it, let it get tacky, then touch it with something to make little peaks. Let it harden then sand down the peaks.

It would be great to see a DIY start to finish post on this. Is this a lot easier than checkering? I’m sure there are some gotchas…

are you talking about stippling like you see on plastic handguns? Or do people stipple wood? I can maybe give some insight into DIY checkering, but not stippling. You can checker wood obviously, plastic checkers pretty easily, but if it's a synthetic stock like glass or carbon fiber something else may be more appropriate, as I would not want to cut into the fiberglass or carbon fiber cloth really. If plastic, I thought that was generally done with heat (soldering iron, etc) rather than a dremel or similar?
