Just be patient and use a very small hammer. I use a 2 oz. one with a very light hand. SRH May God bless America and those who defend her.

David Yale of Colorado TIG welded it, recut the slot and engraved the head. Absolutely can't tell it from the other untouched originals. Amazing work! Disagreement is one of the joys of freedom.
