BROWNELLS METAL CHECKERING FILES
The Brownells Metal Checkering Files are precision-engineered tools designed for gunsmiths and metalworkers seeking to create accurate, non-slip gripping surfaces on firearm components. These files are essential for checkering backstraps, trigger guards, grip frames, ribs, and hammer spurs, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetics of firearms.
Description and Features:
Crafted to provide true, accurate line spacing, these files facilitate the creation of improved gripping surfaces wherever needed. The procedure is similar to wood checkering: layout your master lines (or use a guide like Brownells' .45 Checkering Guide), then establish the pattern by moving the file a few teeth each time, using the previous lines as the guide. Once the pattern is fully laid out, bring it to final depth with a 60° needle file. Finer cuts offer a matting effect to reduce glare and light distortion. The files are available in various lines per inch (LPI) configurations, including 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, and 75 LPI, allowing for customization based on specific project requirements.
