HALENSTONE


Hey all! New to the forum.
So I'm a gun collector and target shooter, never hunted never will (unless life depends on it). Just like firing guns, it's a step up from fire crackers...I'm a big kid. I have a love of all things Firefly as well. So, I bought a Mare's leg, Zoe's short rifle, and want to class it up with some Firefly themed engravings on the metal receiver, handguard, and butt-plate. I just need help finding the artwork. Laser engraving only works with art that uses two colors, but it can be very detailed.

For the left side of the receiver I'm thinking the Serenity logo that has the Mandarin Níngjìng ring in the back. On the right side perhaps a detailed image of Serenity herself. Underneath the wooden handguard (where the firearm rest on your, non-trigger finger, palm when you aim) I would like to engrave the word "Browncoat" in mandarin characters going up to down, but I can't find any good art on this, just some etsy charms that don't really work, I'd like something that looks hand written. On the butt plate I plan on engraving the "Engineered by Firefly" plaque. And finally, best for last, at the very tip of the barrel, on the ring around the hole where the bullet comes out, I will engrave "I AIM TO MISBEHAVE". So that is what you would be reading if, theoretically, you happened to be looking down the barrel of this gun.

I've done a lot of google and bing searches and think I have everything but the "Browncoat" characters. Any help, suggestions, and advice would be appreciated. And I'll make sure to post the final project once I'm done.

BTW, the gun is a Henry Mare's Leg in 44 magnum. Not an exact replica of what Zoe has, but it's the best version for reliability, ease of use, and quality, I just wanted to make it that much better.

Thanks.
