GatogordoTexans, Okies, and other less desirables from the NE TEXAS region, Kelly Laster......
....accomplished engraver will be at upcoming local Cowboy Action Shoot near English, Texas....about 50 mi W of Texarkana.
My buddy, who owns the gun shop where I pick up many of my FFL type purchases, told me today that his buddy, the engraver Kelly Laster will be at his CA shoot soon for several days. My buddy, known in the CA crowd, as T-Bone Dooley is a multi-world champion in CA shooting. What these guys can do with a revolver, or a SxS shotgun is incredible. Wanna get your gun engraved while you watch? Come one, come all. Location is about 10 mi W of my house. I'm trying to confirm dates now. Will publish them when I have them.
Here is Laster's FB page, he trained in Italy for over a year.......

GatogordoAccording to my friend, Bill Froehlich, he works fast and relatively reasonable, whatever that means. He has had him do a fair amount of work engraving various items for Navy Seals, which are often honored at his CA shoots.
I am considering having him lightly engrave a Freedom Arms for me. Many won't do it, apparently because of metal hardness, and I am not sure he will.
BTW one of his engraved rifles shown in the pics has "Gus" of Lonesome Dove on a rifle. Looks good to me.
