I'm definitely going to have to give that a try! If anyone else has different examples please post them! |

Also, I sent my P95 to Ruger because my trigger bar was really worn and it's a part that I just can't order. The technician said that when he opened the box he thought that it was a newer production P95 until he picked it up. He said that I did a great job on it. |

Hmmm, I think this thread is going to cost me alot of time... looking for a first victim now.
Someone needs to machine little punches for this. Magpul logos, scull & crossbones, BFLs, FBO, gadsden snakes, etc. |

Brian Fantana: That was one crazy party. I am hung over.
Champ Kind: I woke up on the floor of some Japanese family's rec room, and they would NOT stop screaming. |
I made a couple of magpul stippling punches by taking the anvil out of a small rifle primer, hammering it flat, and then bending it to shape, its small and a total pain in the ass to make, but it looks just like the magpul "M". I tack welded it to a shaft to use on a soldering iron, but it would probably be easier to have a jeweler make one if you are dead set on having a real one.

BTW what do you mean you made a Magpul stipple punches? |

You'll damn near go blind and your hands will hurt by the time you get one done. Just take your time. |

That's a lot of pot holes with just the point. Good job.

Hey guys, here is an alternative to permanent stippling that I tried. I think it works pretty well and if I don't like it or if I need to sell that gun I just cut it off.

Dremel with a sanding bit. It'll come out looking pretty rough, but once you stipple it, it looks good. It was a lot more work than the ribbed ones, and you get little pieces of plastic everywhere, but when it's done it can look great. |

That's Titleist's rifles. He sent out for stimpling. Forgot who.
For my stimpling I just used a flat head on the soldering iron and poked holes.. quick tapping method. Came out way better than I would have expected. |

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with it. I made sure to mask everything off, and only messed up once or twice on the edges, but was able to fix it with a little creative melting. I want to try some different patterns too. |

Did you file / dremel a screw or nail head like the first poster? Yeah, I tried to do what the OP did. I can't take pictures though, I'm away from my stippling stuff for a few months. I took a barss philips head screw and cut a checkerboard into it. I then used a triangle file from a hobby file kit to sharpen it out. Then just went to town on the panels and kept going over it until it looked right. |

Does anyone carry a stippled gun concealed? I'm thinking of doing the checker board screw method but I'm worried about the stippling snagging my cover garment and causing printing.
