I was watching YouTube videos on jeweled bolts trying to determine what the purpose was. There were quite a few answers on forums. The consensus was that it mostly looked pretty.
Related to this was checkering on wooden stocks for improving grip. Discussions indicated that it was mostly for looks and that there were many other ways of getting a better grip on a stock but didn't take so much tedious time consuming work.
Then I thought for bang for the buck, when you were trying to get something that shoots, these issues would be non starters.
An example of this sprang to mind: STEN submachine gun, and instantly my mind superimposed over this image a view of a Sten Mark 5 with checkered butt and fore grip with a jeweled Bolt!
ROFLOL :-D. Maybe someone skilled in Photoshop could come up with a gag image of a mark 5 Sten with jeweled bolt and checkered stocks that would give us all a laugh and put a smile on our faces!
Something else this made me envision: can you imagine the shocked look on a gun snob's face seeing a mark 5 Sten prettied up in this manner? ;-).
Fully transferable Mark 5 Sten $8,000. ... That surprised non-plussed look? PRICELESS! lol.
