Course Description
Gain priceless experience by adding hand-engraved work to an actual Henry .22 lever-action receiver cover. Students learn the process of engraving a firearm plate without purchasing the gun first. The cover features a laser-marked period design reminiscent of turn-of-the-century lever-action rifles and, once engraved, it can be installed on any Henry .22 lever-action rifle. Each student will be guided by FEGA Master Engraver Rex Pedersen.
