    I would rather have a prince albert and I have a phobia of needles.

    However, if you like it, Dons the man.
    Don is a man of many talents perhaps he can help you with your Prince Albert

    Whilst I admire the talent of the engravers art...why on earth someone would spend £400 on making a £60 youngsters gun look like a pirate's side-arm is beyond me
    I can only assume that you are a dentist, doctor or banker with more available funds than things to spend it it on

    This: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v4...%20Lazerglide/ was on the rifle when I bought is second hand. Not my normal cup-of-cha but it grows on you.
    Ive since added a s/h Don engraved o/p mount.

    As talented as he is, he wont be talented to get close enough to even try.

    If all else fails, I will just sit on him.

    I'm just pleased some people have them done.

    To some it might seem mad but they probably drive a Land Rover or live in a listed building or chrome their bikes Or buy football shirts Or pay for a jim or golf subs Or shoot pheasants at full price . So less than 14 pheasants, or driving a Land Rover into a garage service, or Shy TV bundle worth having. We all have our money pits that we throw bundles in. You only live once; whatever rocks your boat.

    I much prefer the subtlety of the engraving typically found on shotguns. A bit more expensive, but If I was going to have a gun engraved, this is the way I would go.

    Could it possibly be that there are some people out there in the world who have different interests than yours. No couldnt be surely.
