Custom Engraving Cost?

[Dean Romig]

Does that include the bead behind the breech balls?

Seems like a fair price.

That seems like a fair price to me as well. bob Strosin did Gunner's gun complete coverage along with the fore end and trigger guard for around $5K. You can do a search for Gunner's gun and find some nice pictures that another member took of it. JJ Roberts did the engraving on this rifle for a very reasonable amount and the turn around time was exceptional.
Bob's web site is www.resengraving.com and he might have some pictures of it as well.

Unless specified, i would think that any engraving quote would be for the engraving itself, not the prep or alterations. The frame would likely need to be given to the engraver annealed, old engraving polished out, prepped and bead added. Especially since that bead would require welding and filing.

I thought so too, I'll have to see what my all in cost would be before making a decision.. Finding a decent enough VH to build off of, having a custom stock made, preparing metal for engraving, etc.
