How do you sign your rifles to show you built them? Stamps or engraving?

BOB HILL · « **Reply #1 on:** February 13, 2016, 02:59:06 AM »

Engraving.

I have done both but I engrave my signature these days. I still don't have a signature that I really like.

Engrave

Acer Saccharum · « **Reply #5 on:** February 13, 2016, 06:18:24 AM »

Engrave.

On the top flat.

Where it can be read easily.

Stamps are fine for proof or maker's marks, but signatures I always engrave.

I sigh my name just as I would write it if I decided to be extremely neat.

Couldn't you just stamp a acer saccharum leaf on the barrel instead?

I sign mine on the top flat. I do not use a fancy script, I use the same signature I have been engraving on powder horns for over 20 years.

I wish I could just sign my name like that, not less engrave it.

Wherever my ego lets me......if my ego is feeling big one day, and I want to brag forevermore that I built this....then I would slather it all over the gun......and if I was feeling just flesh and blood, then maybe somewhere inconspicuous,

Kinda like those buildings where you see a great big plac, telling who the donations came from.....or on the car you pay thousands for, a sticker saying the car lot it came from.......

Tomtom said this.......and he brags ALOT.......

After spending some time with Chuck Edwards at the Lake Cumberland gathering last, I'm quite sure that engraving is one of the very next things I MUST begin learning to do.

Wade ditto to that.!
