Goofy engraving question

On my Searcy 450 Field grade there are noticeable lines where the barrels were joined to the action.

Would it hurt anything to have some light engraving circling the entire way around the barrels to cover these lines up?


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

It won't hurt a thing. IIRC Bob White out in the valley is one heck of a scratcher already and is very close.

Many double shotguns are engraved where the barrels join the lump. That line just begs to be engraved.

These are barrels made up on a monobloc I take it? In which case it is pretty much common practice by Beretta here in Europe to do just that - engrave all around - to COVER the join.

I wouldn't say HIDE as, of course, by doing the engraving you make it more obvious as to the fact that your barrels are made on a monobloc!

Will it hurt (in terms of is it dangerous or affect the accuracy or function of the gun)? No it won't hurt any. Except your pocket!

If it something you want to do then do it. It is a perfectly safe and, as said re Beretta, quite widespread practice.
