For Christmas the wife bought me The Art of Engraving by JAMES B. MEEK an engraving starter set (Hand engraving tools) some practice plates and other stuff.

Since I have a few extra 110 actions laying around does any know what I would have to do to engrave one. Do I anneal it engrave it then get it hardened again?


I see in the book often he refrences case hardening.

Thoughts ideas would be appreciated. Can a 110 be engraved and if so what process should be done?
