More CPA engraving

Ken Burklow just finished my CPA Schuetzen Action. Thanks to all on this site who gave me photos of original Stevens 49's It's not exactly like a 49 but CPA is not exactly like a 44 1/2 Stevens either.

Little more border work than most originals although it seems even originals at times had more than a line border. No work around the hammer like the originals had

First one was a experiment. CPA told Ken the actions could be engraved after casing.  It went fine and this 2nd one from what I can see from the photos as well.

He told me after the first action metal cut fine no problems with the case.  I won't see it until tomorrow.

Ken's skill is amazing. Number one: engraving is beautiful. Number two: Most engraving leaves small burrs that need to be cleaned up. Can't do that on a tough finished casehardened action. Amazing.
