    Engrave-ability of new Python?

    The list of engrave-ability firearms was great when it was first put up. I don't think it has changed. It would be good if engravers would add ner guns to the list.

    question about silhouette background.

    I think epoxy would work well for what you are doing. This is how I used epoxy. I cut and remove for the silhouette first. Then fill with epoxy. Next, sand and polish your work piece to prepare it for engraving. Do the engraving last. When the epoxy fills the cavity it may not have an...

    Hardness of older 3 screw model Ruger Blackhawk frames

    I have done two Ruger vaqueros. I didn't have any problem with them. I forget if I used steel or carbide, but I think I used steel. The loading gate and recoil shield, however, are as hard as glass, so parts were not engraved.

    Acetone Transfer Method

    The toner is fixed to paper using heat in the printer. I use a heat gun to heat the transfer after it is on the metal. It will make less likely to rub off.

    The Value of Cursive

    People are not learning cursive because teachers are not using it. I doubt that you could find one teacher out 100 that has any idea how to teach cursive. If you are a parent and want your child to learn cursive you will need to teach it yourself. Here is a good suggestion...

    Bulino and line engraving the Stag is done all dots. J.J.

    Good work. The stag looks to be in the style of Nimschke. His stags seem to always in motion and had swept back antlers showing his European influence.

    1851 colts sold by colt

    I made a mistake in my post giving the wrong year. I should have said 1851 not 1885. My question is, do the 1851 Colts sold by Colt from the 70's into the 90's need to have their frames annealed before engraving. I was under the impression that the ones sold by Colt were made in Italy but were...

    suggestions for my daughter

    There are plenty of the 1885 Colts on the net for sale. That is the ones sold by Colt. I knew that the parts for those were made in Italy, but the finish work was done in the colt factory. That is what I have heard. The coloring on the ones made in Italy is not true case coloring. I believe...

    suggestions for my daughter

    My daughter, who is not a firearms owner or has any interest of being one, wants to have a gun that I have engraved. Something she can keep. I am thinking my best option for her is an 1851 colt reproduction. It doesn't follow the strict rules of the federal gov. It is easier to own. My...

    Use Lindsay gravers with PulseGraver?

    I've never used Lindsey or Pulse, but it shouldn't matter what system you are using. What matters is proper face and heel for the job you are doing and what works best for you. I like a little more lift than I get with my GRS system, so I place a thin steel piece under the magnetic post...

    Announcement: Passing of Steve Dunn

    A master in many ways. I was fortunate to have taken a class at GRS with him. I met him once after to express my appreciation for his instruction that was a great help.
