A TheInternet Engraved 10/22

[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!

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

Thanks again!

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

[argonstrom]

Thanks - most of it is

[theGinsue]

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.

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?
