question for everyone: Should I jewel the bolt or have the WaGuns logo engraved (like the one below)

Image


If I jewel the bolt should the WaGuns logo go on the right side of the receiver (like the one below) or on the left

Image


Here is what the left side of the receiver looks like

I thought about having the stock engraved, but I would prefer something more subdued.

I was kind of favoring the bolt, that way it would not be a permanent modification


also I just got the receiver ordered, it is on its way :cheers2:

Leave it to the rastafarian to rank guns by caste.

Learn to love the HiPoint.

Yeah ok the pistols are garbage but the carbines are great and make nice home defenders for the ladies.

I agree, I'd leave the stock alone and just work with the metal.

When I look at a gun for laser engraving, I look for the area with maximum available real estate. From your pics, it looks to me like the left side of the gun meets that criteria.

Also, maybe this is obvious, but take it to the engraver before you assemble the gun. It will be a lot easier for him to manipulate just the receiver, turn it to the right angle, etc.

I can help with the logo files, Casey.

I do not have an extra set of see through scope rings. I apparently have at least 2 extra sets, because I found 3.
So I'll bring all 3, someone else can decide. One doesn't have mounting hardware though.
Here's a similar set on my plinker go-to 10/22 (also the first rifle I bought myself as an adult) with a 4x32 cheapo scope, that works fantastic as a package BTW.

Irons still usable. I've got some fire sights I need to put on this thing.....
