I've been engraving Kentucky rifles since about 1985. I've got three or four days in this on and off.

Very cool

What would it cost to do one like this? I like my cattleman, that would make it very sweet.

Yep, finally.... Took it out and shot it a while ago. It's much funner to shoot than it was to engrave! I still have to rub back the bluing some, but that will have to wait will I wake a living for a while.

I suppose I could come shoot it for you, break it in and all you know..course you got to furnish the bullets, and give me gas money, but for you old son, I would do it.
