Gauging interest- laser engraving

[belshawelk]

Like do the reticle on a cap?


Yup! I'm working out a sample of a pic I took of my lab.

The drop charts on inside it alums cap would be awesome. Right now it’s a goofy sticker

Yeah, thinking something like that. Lots of reticles out there with built in holdover graduations, and we've got a whole other thread going on scopes and how the dials and tracking can be a failure point.

I know it's easy enough to just tape on your own drop chart on the scope or stock, but if you could laser engrave it on the scope cap why not?

Ya it can be done. Lettering is legibile down to around 1/16" tall.

Can you copy something like this?

Can you copy something like this?

Yes. Either with or without the background.

Wife wanted a photo of our senior lab on the back of her tablet. It's a little washed out in the background because I had the dpi too high. Good definition in the dog though.

Cases? I keep cases from each critter when possible and right the date and info in fine line sharpie on them, and if it’s a euro Mount I set the brass in the eye socket.

It does a really nice black on brass.

Would there be interest in firearm patent drawings done on aluminum?

I’ve got a couple of those framed on paper, probably be way more interesting on aluminum. What do you think they would run price wise?

I don't see them being over $40 framed.

I'll take one to get the ball rolling. How about a 92FS patent drawing or exploded view like the rubber work mats?
Send it!!

Is that in a hand painted 24k gold leaf frame?

I like it!

I'm not going to have anything available in time for Father's day unfortunately.


Receiver yes, I don't have the right type of laser for wood. I'm working on some designs that will look good at depth. I can do scroll work also. This is one I'm in the middle of designing for a rolling block.

That buggered screw though!
There has to be a story to that.

Here's some more of "what's possible"

This is so much cooler than that white dope chart I have tape to my stocks.

 

[TN2shot07]

That’ll be awesome except for being a Beretta….

I’m in for one, should we do a Glock 19 or a 700??

The buggered screw- that rifle was made in 1897, who knows how many times it's been apart! It's still a work in progress anyways.

Yup.
My 1916 1894 should have the feed rails replaced but I don't shoot it a lot and I don't want those staked screws taken out.

1 each of course!
