Cazadero,
The engraver may not be able to engrave the modern steel of a hardened action.
They usually engrave before hardening.

Thanks Oz, I didn't even think about that.

I wonder if Krieghoff could offer any options.

This is better than a belly dancer's belly. A Purdey .500BPE from 1891.

The plain and tidy belly of a Webley & Scott .303 double. This one is the smallest A&W-C Screwgrip action I have seen.

Great stuff!

The VC custom shop rifles have been amazing - seemingly unlimited style options and beautiful work.

That .410/hornet -- let's see more!

Curl as always I really appreciate the rifles you find out there. The little screw grip .303 is really cool!
I wish I had more time lately to work on my steel engraving. I want to develop a golden age scroll motif of my own. Great photos!

The little Webley .303 has had its own thread here on NE.com since New Year's Day 2010: Webley & Scott .303

It still has its regulation tag with it. Regulated with Dominion Super Clean .303 Soft Nose 215 Grains.



I'm a real sucker for these things.

Curl,

Thanks for sharing them with us though.

Close to 28,000 views on one of the most successful threads on NE. Thanks to Curl. This thread has really opened up my eyes to the beauty of the belly. Often overlooked compared to the sideplates, the belly offers an extremely good platform for display.

Going through this thread again before posting the photos above, I really enjoyed the really beautiful and varied bellies displayed.

Gentlemen, please post any you have or believe are suitable for displaying here. I will post even my own poor examples. Plus any I come across from time to time.

This is an Armas Garbi Model 101. Doesn't belong to me, but a genuine belly nonetheless.

I took a photo of the belly of an H&H .700NE at the NRA museum last summer.
But, it's obviously not mine. I can post a photo if thats ok.
