Giovanni Villalva doing what he does best at MBT Fine Custom Fi****ms. This is a very fine chamber cut on a .264 WinMag barrel he is installing on a blueprinted Howa 1500 receiver. The attention to detail and concentration given to the rifle barrels here is second to none, and explains the uncanny precision our rifles are known for.

We just finished this 1911. The engraving was done by hand as well as the 24k gold and the striking color on the Norwegian flag. It certainly makes a statement, and this customer has something extremely unique to add to his personal collection.

Just finished dressing up this R***r 1911 for JC Young. All this scrollwork was done on the fly freehand (no pattern was used). A true one of a kind work of art.

Had a great and awesome time with Alice Carter, Tom Harvey, Ray Cover, John Cook, Fi****ms Engravers Guild of America, and all the talented people at The Hand Engravers Retreat and Expo in Arcadia Mo this weekend. Also wanted to extend heartfelt thanks to Matt and the great staff at the Arcadia Academy for the venue and friendly service! What a fantastic time!

Absolutely honored to be here amongst the titans of hand craftsmanship!
Special thanks to Ray Cover for hosting this event, and to all the amazing craftsmen who have exchanged ideas with me (or in many cases) humbled me completely!

A tribute to the reformation. This fine S&W model 49 has been lavished with full coverage engraving with symbology directed at John Calvin, Jon Hus, Martin Luther, and even Ulrich Zwingli (by omission since he was against symbols of any kind 😉). This was a fascinating project and very fun to do as I love theme engraving. The grips were made here at MBT Fine Custom Fi****ms by me (Tim Malcolm) and I also handled all the bluing on this one. This is 100% my handiwork for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

MBT Fine Custom Fi****ms:
A custom 1911 just finished. We resculpted the grip safety area, and gave it a deep, rich bluing. Also, engraved new roll marks by hand. Can you tell which stamps are original and which are custom? (No googling. Don’t cheat!)
