anyone have their guns "jeweled"

[BOBBO268]

looking for a good place to get some jeweling work done. No, not bedazzling, thats left for my sweater vests (j/k), but these days its tough to find a reputable place to send your gun parts to for work.... any experience here?

[Bawanna]

What part of the world you live in? I know Jeepster has a couple no doubt from Ahlmans that look super. I've jeweled a couple of my own but definitely not up to the pros quality. Pencil eraser and valve grinding compound probably isn't the ultimate get er done method but it does work.

Somepkace is a totally jewelled Detonics....was once mine.

The key is starting with a good gliss

I think jeepster09 is the porting, jeweling, guy around here.
PM him

Update:
He uses Ahlman's to jewel the barrell

Some fellow(Old Lincoln) put a jewel on his front sight recently... or would that be "bejeweled"?

pretty much what BARTH posted. Its easy enough to buy the jeweling tool for 20 bucks, its just that I don't have anyway to secure the barrel and rotate it perfectly and move it back and forth.

that is definately bedazzled

That is a fine looking pair, Jeepster. Did you cut the grooves in the front of the slide?

LOL! Believe it or not

Some time back when a guy by the name of Stephon (sP?) was running the service department of Kahr, I had to send back my wife's tricked out K9 because of a cracked slide (they paid return shipping for the whole gun). The barrel hood and the trigger were jeweled on this piece



When I got it back it had a new, plain trigger and barrel.

Back then there was a really nice lady, I believe named Dotty that was running the customer service dept. When I called her to complain that my jeweled trigger and barrel had been replaced, she became unglued. She wanted to know what kind of gems they were. I explained to her that it was just a process also call turning, no gems involved. She was all apologetic and said they doubted if the barrel and trigger could be found. She asked me what Khar could do to make me happy, holster, sights. I jokingly or so I thought told her what I'd really like. Then I said if you can't find the pieces don't worry about it.

Back then we owned two K9s and one PM9. About two days after speaking to Dotty, I got a call from Stephon to say per Dotty's instructions, to ask me to submit a copy of a dealer's FFL. I asked him if this was for real, he said yes, they found my barrel and hood in someones work bench draw.

Yes, we now own two PM9s. This is no B.S.it really happened this way
