A TheInternet Engraved 10/22

[argonstrom]

I was planning on using it as a hotrod 10/22, hence the flames, but I fear I may have to let her go.

Dude that is better looking that I thought it would be! You're getting better and better at this!

[sniper7]

looks awesome! If you need another 10/22 to test on I have one you could use as a test bed![Beer]

Very Nice

[argonstrom]

Thanks, all! [Beer] I'd be more than happy to take on another project or two.

I'm not big on engraving in general, but those flames turned out great!

[newracer]

I gave you shit about the Glock so I guess I should give you props for this one. Much better and you are getting a lot better at it. Nice work.

[spleify]

Looks awesome pal! Just like all the rest of your stuff

[henpecked]

Very nice...How many hours do you currently have in it?

+1 that has to eat up a bunch of time

[Jolly Green]

Its a work of art. Art takes time to create.

[argonstrom]

If I kept track of the time into it, I'd probably cry! [LOL]

I put an hour or two into it for a few nights, sometimes more, sometimes less.

Thanks again! :D

that by my chance my old 10/22, looks great!

[argonstrom]

Thanks - most of it is ;)

All of the work looks awesome.

I'm wondering though, does the engraving weaken the metal at all?

[argonstrom]

I can't imagine it helps it, but I won't touch areas that are "under pressure." I've yet to have anything I've engraved break & I carry arms that I've engraved, so I trust 'em. I'd be happy to let you try them out for yourself if that'll help.

[theGinsue]

Naw, I trust what you're telling me. All of your activity has gotten me to consider the possibility of doing the same but the possibility oif weakening the metal was a major concern.

Now, I just have to get past the idea of potentially messing up a firearm in an attempt to put out as good looking product as you have been.

[Irving]

Ginsue, don't engrave the firing pin or the main spring.

[argonstrom]

Thanks for the compliment, man. Really, you just can't be worried about screwing it up or not looking quite like you had pictured. Art is subjective.

[theGinsue]

Ginsue, don't engrave the firing pin or the main spring.

What?

NOW you tell me.

Anyone have a spare firing pin and main spring for a Barrett 98B?

kidding

Hey TheInternet, can you shoot some video and post it? It's hard to get a feel for the depth effect from photos. Most digicams and smartphones can shoot video, just upload the file to Youtube.
