Once you get a roll die machine, if the table is adjusted with an air cylinder, then you get to play with the amount of air pressure required to get the correct impression depth for barrels having different alloys and hardnesses.

And you also have to find an outfit that can cut your dies using the smoke-pulls you obtained from original barrels, etc, and who won't go changing individual characters like altering the "lazy J" used in the original Stevens roll stamps, etc, because some individual characters don't match the particular font used for the rest of the characters.

Like they say, if it was easy (and cheap), everyone would do it.
