    This is an easy way to customize your hunting rifle! This post features an engraved trigger guard, floorplate, and grip cap – this easily adds personalization and elegance to your rifle without breaking the bank.

  •    Custom 98 Mauser   

    This is a beautiful yet simple rifle engraved in a semi-English style. It evokes English rifles used in Africa in the 1900s.

    Rifles of this particular caliber would have been used for plains game hunting, lions, and leopards.

  •    1881 Marlin   

    I engraved this 1881 Marlin rifle to recreate a factory pattern that was common to the rifle. The original was done by Conrad F Ulrich, he was the Marlin factory engraver from 1881 to 1907. C. F. Ulrich was part of the Ulrich Firearms engraving dynasty which stretched for nearly a century from the 1850s until 1949.

    The animals on this particular pattern all appear to have been done in a “folk-art” style and includes deer, bear, & bison.

    Over the years we have recreated many historic patterns on a wide variety of firearms.

  •    Floorplate and Grip Cap   

    This floorplate and grip cap are engraved in American Scroll but, for added emphasis, they each feature selective nickel plating! I can also selectively plate in silver or 24k gold.
