The engraver can work from there. The only thing that needs to be done before coloring is some minor welding on the trigger plate. The lug that the tang screw goes into is not an integral part of the trigger plate. For some reason the factory soldered this part on. And that would obviously not hold up to the cch process. The lug needs to be tack welded down so that it stays put when heat up. I just notch the 4 corners of the joint with a file, fill them with tig weld and clean them up and done.
Thanks Brian. Much appreciated.
