I've been asked to do a floor plate and trigger guard for a Winchester Model 70 that is made of stainless steel. I've looked on the internet and have not been able to determine what type of stainless these parts are made of. Does anyone know how difficult (hard) this type of floor plate/trigger guard is to engrave?
Also, the floor plate and trigger guard have been bead blasted to a satin finish. I've never worked with a satin finish. I'm assuming you can't do much sanding (if any) without messing up the satin look. What is the standard proceedure for this finish? Do I engrave it and send it out to be bead blasted again? Any help with these issues would be very much appreciated. I haven't committed to the project yet and want to know what I'm getting into.
Thanks
