New Engraver

[Honeybee]

I bought an old engraving machine and have been trying to learn to use it, This is one of my first attempts on my sons Winchester model 12.
Hope you enjoy it.

It looks better in person than my phone pictures can show.

Nice job, seems alot of people want engraving done but have a hard time finding someone to do the job. I think OPS offers it but it does not meet ATF spec as far depth.

Mine will do the depth and I have control over all fonts, sizes and depths. but for these pictures I just made them very shallow in order to get more detail.
Here is the other side of that frame.

Don,

That looks outstanding!

Thanks, I wanted to see how a small logo would look so here is an attempt at a small S&W.
Like the shotgun frame I should have cleaned and polished it before engraving.

Mike just picked up an engraver that is ATF compliant not too long ago. Don't think that he has got to use it much yet though.

So uh, when are you going to master this and start accepting local requests?

Ha Ha, just kidding..... but not really... totally serious.

And seriously. looks great!

The reason I bought it is to engrave the Silencers we will be manufacturing but if you need anything engraved I can do it for you.
I guess the going rate for name & # engraving for form 1's is $10 is that right?
That's what my last one cost when I had it done.

It looks great.

What is the depth required by the ATf on engraving? I had one of their people tell me .005" ,which didn't sound deep enough.
