Anyone ever re-cut a Remington 1100 with the factory stamped pattern? A friend asked me about engraving over this pattern on his and his wife's 12 and 20 ga. 1100's (a two-fer job). I told him I had concidered engraving over my personal 1100, but I had not had it out of the safe since buying my O/U. I'd have to pulll it out and see what kind of design I could come up with.
Well, I pulled it out and was dissapointed. I remebered the pattern differently in my mind. I have been looking at this pattern for a few hours and I just can't get my head around how to start. My intuition says theres a way to re-design this pattern and expend it, but my eyes and brain can't seem to put it all together yet. Anyway, thought I'd ask the brain trust. Have any of ya'll ever done a job like this, and if so, I'd love to see pictures of how you approached the design.
