Gunsmithing Gold and silver inlay question.

[JoeAdams]

How much is it to have the word "Medallion" Inlaid in gold?

Also you know how the Medallion A-Bolt has all that engraving? I want that in Silver.

How much would this cost?

Re: Gold and silver inlay question.

Talk to a firearms engraver..preferably one that hand engraves. They have to make undercuts to inlay the metal. Price depends on who's doing the work and type of metal (such as 14k, 18k, 24k etc).

I've seen metallic epoxy sticks that contain gold (probably mixed mostly with brass) and silver that you rub into engraved areas. But they don't look as professional as authentic gold/silver/platinum inlays.

You can probably find some good contacts here:
