I'm providing a new service
You know how it is, you get a new gun and you want to use it but it cost a lot of money and it's so pretty and you worry about getting it messed up, especially that first scratch. After the gun has a scratch you can relax and enjoy it and pay attention to your shooting. Well for a small fee I will "Pre Scratch" you new firearm. That's right gentlemen you can have that new gun professionally scratched and or dented. For an example of my service please check out the CZ 75 I have listed. Yea, I know, hard to believe that was a brand new shiny pistol at one time. That is why you should leave the scratching of your firearms to a pro. Here you go.

Great idea, sir. I may do a similar service with new luxury cars. I'd be happy to put the first "door ding" or rock chip in your new Maserati, Bugatti, Tesla, or Rolls Royce. For only a very small fee - I'll only need the car for a week or so. (Offroad vehicles slightly higher.) 0 -
UPS or USPS also provides this free service 0 -
I'm more of a tightwad and a DIYer.
When I get a new carry gun:
1. Tear it down, inspect, clean, lube.
2. Range test at least 250 rds/adj sights.
3. Take unloaded gun out to driveway and using sidearm throw it full length of dw striving for a mininum of 4 bounces.
4. Tear it down, inspect, clean, lube.
5. Load, carry.
I'm not paying you if all the quality steps aren't there.0 -
Of course only a Pro and his trainees could do that to one, I've had a few returned like that to me :shock: .........but they were done free of charge :evil: 0 -
I was looking at an old beat up AK once. gun counter guy says it's not really old, we "antiqued" it. I said what did you do to get it to look like that. he said they beat it with chains and threw it down the driveway.
I suppose that added value somehow.0 -
But, is your work warrantied for 3-5 years. I don't want a bad nick, scrape, dent, water damage, LOSE (that's a big one --- with all of the recent boating accidents, to go unnoticed.
Really, would like to read the fine print in your contracts.

Can you correctly do the "1911" scratch? That is a must in your new service. 0 -
I am not sure why this situation might occur
- but
I am pretty sure that if a police officer told me to "Drop the gun!", he would not understand me taking out my handkerchief, unfolding it on the ground, and carefully placing the weapon on the handkerchief.
Of course, it would probably then be kicked against the curb - and I would not have to worry about . . . anything . . . again . . . forever.0 -
Ok
as a similar service I would ( at a fee based on looks and weight ) help out a with a new girlfriend0 -
i have done the "1911 scratch" on all my 1911s just so you guys who stress over that will have something to talk about 0 -

Rocky, might I suggest that you reconsider your 'small fee'. In my experience most rich folks are happy to pay higher fees for superior services. If you do an outstanding job (and I'm sure you will) you will get all the 'word of mouth' referrals you can handle.
If you don't get any 'hits' for your service, you should keep increasing your price until you do.
Feel free to send a check for 'consulting' when your service takes off. Always glad to help. Who knows, I might even start my own business (using the same business model) in the 'Pointes', various 'Bloomfields' and Birmingham's around here.0 -

If Ricci can't handle the volume, I'll do a 'double' IDIOT scratch on your 1911. (the 2nd is the scratch that is on the slide from the bottom to the top in an upward direction). It takes some real skill to accomplish that version.
EDIT: I'd post a pix, but I haven't a clue how to anymore.0 -
I'd prefer my arms be scratched by a pro with more prestige. 0 -

That's the one I am talking about , NICE!0 -
I am profoundly glad I can't afford it. 0 -
I wince every time I watch an old Western and they tell a guy to throw his guns away from where they are standing..
Also in the movie Winchester 73 with Jimmy Stewart.. that One of One Thousand" Model 1873 Winchester rifles, takes a beating...0 -
I'm glad you didn't offer that service on the Model 27 I saw listed - 0 -
That is a very capable pistol. I just might have to have it. 0 -
I assure you, iceracerx, that my "small fee" is entirely proportional to the kind of person who would own a Maserati, Ferrari, or such. 0 -

I'm thinking with all the various notches found on the slide of a 1911, a true artist could add at least two of the circular 'beauty marks' to the slide, maybe more. I'll have to dig one of mine out and cogitate on this. 0
