    New rules by UPS, FEDX, and USPS

    Sever people have said it was because I don't have an FFL.

The current situation a is a change in the policy of...

    engraving Colt SA

    Because the frames of SAA colts need to be annealed, I need suggestions as how to anneal them. Do I need to send it out, or is it something I can do myself?

    I have an 1851 Colt that came from the Colt factory in 1971. Sometimes referred to as 2nd generation. As I understand, these guns had the parts made in Italy and were shipped to Colt where they were assembled and finished. The frame appears to be real case hardened. Later models made in the...

    Gravers coming loose during use with PulseGraver?

    I have never used a PulseGraver but would like to hear more about them here. When I put a graver in a collet, I grind a flat spot where the set screw will make contact. With square gravers it is on the corner. Tighten the screw on the flat while the hand piece is vibrating. It will make it...

    Image Transfer Aids

    Their products look more like a problem for transfers to metal rather than a solution. I have found that if you want a good 100% transfer baking parchment is the best choice. There are a number pf posts explaining how it is done. Some explanations are very detailed. They should be easy to...

    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.
