I decided today that I wanted to carve my initials into my faux ivory stocks, actually I decided that I wanted to have it done but being the impatient type I am I rounded up the dremel and found a font I liked in Word. I proceeded to hack and slash and ended up with my initials carved in the stocks and some grippage adding texture on the backstraps. It feels good in my hand and makes my gun different from the multitudes of others out there.
I am in no way trying to show off nor do I think I did a very good job. My point is to TRY some things to make your guns your own. Worst case I am out a $40 set of stocks if it goes terribly wrong, and they would be useable short term. Best case I get a useable rendition of what I wanted with no wait and some pride in doing it myself. You also learn from each new thing you undertake which is a win-win no matter what happens.
What are you planning to do or have done to your guns yourself just becuase you wanted to?
