I have a Makarov and I'd like to etch something onto the slide. My local gunsmithy charges more than I'd like for this project, so I was curious if any of you have successfully etched something onto a slide without it looking like hammered shit.
Thoughts?

I'm afraid to ask but what do you want etched into the slide
>>32314826
also, if its just the slide you want done, you're gonna be much happier with the result if you have it sent to a professional, maybe not your local guy but I'm sure you can find someone
Don't be a retard that bubbas his gun.

I partly got the Makarov to see if this would be a fun project. It was $150 so I'm not too put out if I fuck it up. Pretty damn fun to shoot though!

I appreciate it, I'm reading through the post now.

If it looks alright and I don't have to drop a pile of cash to do it, it'll be a wedding present to my best friend from my old unit. He's bonkers for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

There's already a penis on that makarov. Heheh
I really want to pick up one of those maks but I don't know anything about them. I don't know which are the best, what to avoid and so forth. I'd really prefer one in 9mm Luger since 9mm Mak is so hard do come by.
Need to do some research and grab one.

Engrave and inlay semen spurting out of the tip of the dick grips, preferably with an milky/opalescent inlay. You could probably even do a pre-work mockup with hotglue or the real deal to see how you like the distribution of droplets and use that as a basis to show the engraver and the gunsmith.
Have you ever etched anything before in your life on a softer material like wood? Do you have good tools for etching?
If the answer for both of those is no, than it's gonna look like shit.

I've been looking for some Colt 1911's so I can engrave Mustang and Sally into the slide.
This thread just brought back a terrible flashback memory. I'm gagging thinking about.
