Trae Stevenson was very helpful with every step. They received it on Friday before MLK day and sent it back on Tuesday after MLK day. Total with shipping $129.00. I'm am really glad that I had it done.

I didn't think you'd really need to bother with chasing or recutting any engraving if the job was done carefully. That one small spot near the opening lever on the right side isn't very noticeable, even though the photos are much larger than actual size. Did Micro Weld just do the welding, or did they do the final dressing too? Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

That's all that was done. I think you did a fine job of finishing up the weld job. You kept your files, stones, and abrasives off of the engraving, removed minimal material, and ended up doing a good job of matching the surface finish of the rest of the frame. Nice save!
