I have not but I think that is a good thing.Engraving adds more character to a rifle.Another thing that adds character is the number of trips it's been on.Whatever you do don't do a charging animal engraving.I think these will ruin a fine rifle-no matter how good there done.Oh yes,and take your time. | |||

I'm not a gunsmith, but if the action has been hardened, can it still be engraved?

Cal, You are right in the thought that if the action is hardened then it will have to be annealed prior to having any engraving done. That's why it is always good to send it to the manufacturer for this procedure. If this can't be done then send it to a quality gunsmiths that can anneal the parts and send them to an engraver. When the engraver is finished then he will send it to the gunsmith to be hardened an then reassembled. | |||
