I heard tell that any rifle he engraves becomes surly and prone to argument.  ;D

That looks nice!  I’d enjoy seeing some pictures after darkening as well.

Nobody can say he's boring and lacks a sense of humor.I have had only one bad experience with a gun maker and it was NOT Mike Brooks but it was a gun maker who told others my appearance looked like someone who had escaped from a Nazi death camp.He is no longer alive.
No,I did not harm him.

I agree and I think Bama has been paid a great compliment when folks thought his engraving was done by Mike.
I know if I could engrave like either of them, I would be a very happy camper. However when I  tried engraving a simple piece it looked like I did it with my toes. :(
