Is there somebody in the US that does this kind of stuff?

I would love to pimp out my Win 70 Safari Express like this but have no clue who to ask.

Thanks
 
There are piles of engravers. Try Jesse Kaufman ( Black Hills Engraving) out of Sturgis, SD for a start. Or just look up engravers for the gunmakers guild.
Thank you

I figured engraving wouldn’t be too hard to find but I’m thinking about the silver or gold (plate?) inlay’s specifically

I will reach out to Jesse though. Thanks
 
Overlay and inlay are the easy part. Also try Jim Blair of Glenrock, WY; and also Earnie Marsh. He is hear in Wyoming as well. Earnie will sometimes do a rifle or handgun if you ask hard enough. All three are or have been members of the guild.
Thanks!
 
Go on the FEGA website - Firearms Engravers Guild of America. You will find tons of professional engravers who can do whatever you want. I've had most of my work done by Sam Welch of Castle Rock, Utah.

Thank you, I was able to find a Master Engraver that is 90 miles from me. I will be talking with him.

That is one georgous shotgun!

A reliable,low cost option… these guys use a laser engraver.. but can do pretty much any artwork you submit to them (they are making me a M98 floorplate with a crusaders cross on it as I type this)… and they are simply great people as well…

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
