GUNSMITHING SERVICES: Custom Engraving Services, Ruger RPR
In addition to our standard line of shrouds, LRI also offers a custom engraving service for Ruger RPR Bolt Shrouds available in both "as machined" and "black ano". This work is performed using state of the art CAM software and 4 axis CNC milling center. Important notes: This kind of work relies heavily on experience and a certain level of artistic interpretation. This particular work is on a cylindrical surface less than 7/8 of an inch in diameter. The raceway in the RPR receiver that exposes the bolt shroud has a 1/2" opening. Because of this, scaling and detail become very important if the artwork/characters are to present well. The raceway in the receiver is essentially the "picture frame" that we are constrained to work within in order to meet that need. What this boils down to is we must be allowed a degree of "artistic freedom" when it comes to this kind of work. Engraving tools machine a path roughly .005" in depth and .015" in width.
