[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 3537089, member: 15527"] The barrel steel is 416 stainless steel. I was taught this type of hand engraving by a German man a couple of years ago. I cannot pronounce his name, so I always just called him "Sir". He is a retired engraver from H&H, Rigby, and other places that did hand engraving on your most elegant double rifles from the top custom gun makers in the world. I watched for a year before I ever got brave enough to start on an actual barrel, but have done 4 guns to date. The barrel I posted at the beginning of this thread, I have just over 100 hours in it so far. [/QUOTE]
