I've been working on this rifle on and off for the past few months. A little border work and some scroll will have this one completed. Roger Kehr Kehr Engraving Company (360)456-0831 | ||

Very nice work! What did you make the yellow circle with? I don't imagine it is paint and it appears to me to be too yellow to be gold. for every hour in front of the computer you should have 3 hours outside | |||

The yellow is 24k gold. My photos are not very good and you seem to lose some detail posting on line as well. Chisana, I wish my sheep looked as good as yours. The left side: Roger Kehr Kehr Engraving Company (360)456-0831 | |||

Roger's a hunter...and I've said it to him. It takes a hunter to depict the animal accurately..this is indeed fine work | |||

Roger, that's some beautiful work! I thought it was a nice rendering of a sheep until I noticed it's on a Winchester 1886! Thats one big job! | |||

Great "pics" Roger Great borders too. Here's a question. In the picture I assume that the dark is ink. How do you preserve the contrast in the finished product? | |||

I cannot get over your shading, how you do that with metal is beyond me. I really enjoy looking at your work. Red | |||

Roger, can you put that sheep on my Perazzi or my Super X-1 and add wings to him? Great work as always. | |||

James, The ink isn't really needed, but it helps when posting photos online. I would hazard a guess that 20% of the engraving detail is lost through a combination of uploaded photos on the internet, and my lack of photographic/lighting skills.

I guess my question was, Do you carefully remove the bluing on the critter itself after rust bluing? I'm guessing this isn't a silver inlay. | |||

Very nice work Roger, Very nice. | |||

Rust bluing combined with bulino engraving is sort of a sticky situation. The etching and wire wheeling can destroy all my efforts. I would much prefer the finish be Carbonia or caustic blue. I have rust blued quite a few guns with bulino animals though. I work carefully to keep the solution off of the animal, and hand card the area surrounding the animal. After the blue is completed, I mask the area surrounding the animal and remove any blue that has bled onto the animal. That leaves the animal sans any finish at all. Two options here...Finish all the metal as some do color hardened actions or apply several coats of a cold phosphate solution to gray the animal. It's quite time consuming, but the result are good.

wow is all I can say Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue. What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||
