Hello all, just a quick heads up on a cheap practice plate alternative. These credit card bottle openers are a pretty good, cheap, practice plate alternative. They are about 2" x 3" and they do have the bottle cap opening in them. I'm sure they are some kind of crappy Chinese stainless steel...
At a site called "Steve Barnette Fine Guns" they have a an H&H - Farquharson engraved by Lynton Mckenzie, and a Griffin & Howe engraved by Winston Churchill. Both just a little out of my slush fund price range, but nice pics. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hi and hope everyone is doing well. I have been asked to put a name and date on the reciever of an ATI O/U shotgun. I'd never even heard of them until I looked them up. An enexpensive import, it says they are made of 7075 aluminum. I looked up 7075 aluminum but the info doesn't mean much to...

Listed on the Armslist site for Nashville TN, a Ruger Red Hawk 44 mag, 1st year prod, engraved by Ken Hurst, 3/4 coverage. Includes a letter from Ken Hurst. $1,400.00. Seems like that would be a decent price, but I really don't know. And I saw what Roger said about guns from Ken's shop...
Good mormimg. I've been asked to engrave some titanium knife handle scales but I have never cut titanium before. Does anyone sell Ti practice plates, I guess they would be too expensive. I've looked around a bit, but I don't know anything about Ti so I don't know what one would order from a...
I know this has been beaten to death so I apologize in advance, but it seems like the models change really fast. My old (probably 10 yr old) printer looks like it's finally gone belly up. All I ever do is acetone transfers and I just lay my drawing on the glass, reduce and print, so I don't...
