Took my time w/ Standpaper and a 1x3 Stick and feel it turned out well.

Figured while I was at it I'd undercut the Trigger guard also with a Pen...  It feels so much better in my hands now.

Wanted to do this for a while.  What grit did you use?

How did you avoid hitting the checkering?

Same grit question as above.  Plastic always seems to leave "whiskers"  when I sand it.

I used 150 grit,  I put 3 layers of painters tape over anything I didnt want sanded and used the 1 x 3 x 5 stick to "ride" the tops if the points to remove them as evenly as I could.  Thinking of ways to connect the texturing but honestly I can live with this for now.

Nice job, looks good. 
"The rifle is a weapon. Let there be no mistake about that. It is a tool of power, and thus dependent completely upon the moral stature of its user. It is equally useful in securing meat for the table, destroying group enemies on the battlefield, and resisting tyranny. In fact, it is the only means of resisting tyranny, since a citizenry armed with rifles simply cannot be tyrannized."
