First inlet the oval,adhere it to wood,shape/polish as needed, remove and send the oval out for engraving, then re-install the oval. Easiest way to make sure it is done right and without complications later. There are less and less engravers(I know of) that will do the job "on the gun" for fear of damaging the finish on the stock.
