Shaun at ISP does it if you want it done professionally.
The weather is rubbish, and my eye has been caught by jewelling (guillochet) of rifle parts, in particular the exposed part of the sliding breech on my TX200
Has anyone done it? Anyone local to Southampton got a pillar drill and machine vice they could let me use or borrow?

One to bear in mind - to be fair got the whole hidden section of the tube I could practice on first!
Anyone any idea of cost to do one.Atb mick
Contact Craig P on here . He may know or can ask Shaun.
Paul Short is another to consider, example of his work . . . think this was HW97 internals he sent when I was enquiring about work on my 77

I would have thought this is a job for a pro myself as one slip and you could knacker the gun surely .
My mate use to own an engravers and some of the muck ups people brought in saying can you put this right , done on gold jewellery and or silver stuff and he would say if i polish it out it will end up so thin it will break .
Like doing blueing you can have a bash at it and get a fairish job but to me i wanted it to look good i used a pro
I had a Paul Short jewelled hw77 before I stupidly sold it and it was a very nice job.
The jeweling on my ISP spartan is also very nice
Can't go wrong with either of these two if you want it done properly.
I'd be sending it to ISP if it were mine.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
