Topic: Engraving Needed On Very Old Shotgun Number of Responses: 2
| Hello, I own my Great Grandfathers shotgun. Some of the original lettering on the barrel is getting very thin and I wanted to try to find someone to deepen the existing lettering before I get it re-blued. If you know anyone in the South that does hand engraving on a small job like this I would greatly appreciate the help. I am in Pensacola Florida. Thank You, John |

Topic: Check Off Box vs. Signature Number of Responses: 4
A question has arose that I would like your comments and vote on.
Website new membership application : signature or check off box
As I understand it....this is the way it now works.
If somebody sends in a membership via the website, we send them a application
to be signed that they "understand that acceptance of the code of Ethics is a requirement for membership".....
They can request "Not to be included on the mailing list "(Privacy notice)
The proposal is to change this from a signature to a check off box that can be
emailed with payment. I see no problem with this unless someone else sees
an issue. This should make memberships faster and easier to process
I would appreciate Officers input......especially Bill Gamradt....who will be setting
this up, and Shannon who will be working with it on a day to day basis.
Please email me and other officers with your comments or use the Board of Dir.
forum on the FEGA website. I would like to have all votes into me by Sept. 9th.
Thanks,
Bob Strosin

Topic: Engraving a name on a handgun Number of Responses: 5
I found your website and hope someone can help me, or refer me to someone who can. My wife inherited a revolver that belonged to her grandfather. It is in excellent condition and I would like to have his name engraved on the backstrap; ten letters. We live in southeast Kansas and I would want to drive to the person who would do the engraving.
I now this is a small job, but it would be meaningful to her.

Topic: graver configuration for 24K gold engraving. Number of Responses: 2
| What is considered the best graver configuration for engraving on gold? I am using a carbide square graver with a 60 deg. face, a 110 deg belley and a 20 deg heal. It works but has a tendancy to dive on me and is difficult to control. |
