This weekend is the Nations Gun Show in Chantilly Virginia 21,22 and 23th I have a table if your in the area stop by and see my display of engraved guns. J.J.
I've engraved animal's and bird's in pair's one looking forward to the muzzle and one looking back to the butt I will do drawings of the game scene until I come up with a pleasant game scene with trees, sky and foliage. J.J.
Brownell's gunsmithing supply's has every thing you'll ever need to put a fine finish on guns I have an outside shop were I hot and slow rust bluing Brownell's is my go to people to call for good tec. advice and supply's. J.J.
Back in the day I used Naval jelly to remove the bluing on a Winchester and it etched the metal so bad I had a hell of a time restoring the metal for engraving I would'nt recommend Naval jelly for stripping bluing Lysol is what I use. J.J.
The technique I use for French grey hot or slow rust blue on the gun parts and strip with Lysol 10x power toilet bowl cleaner and neutralize with baking soda works for me. J.J.
After engraving the slide I had it plated by Metalife in Grand Valley Pa. Ron Mahovsky owner phone 814-671-8636 or his daughter Kim 814-436-7747. I'm happy with there work. J.J.
