    Use of Gold/Silver and Gems

    Now I'm not a jeweler or a machinist. But so far the golden mags are the only use of materials for gold.

    But is it possible to in lay gold/silver into a alum or steel body? Or use gems to create something. Granted it would just be for show

    I bring this up cause I found my ex finance's ring here (about 1/2 carat diamond) while I was cleaning up around here.

    Was just day dreaming it would be cool to do the AGD lions logo and pick up another 1/2 carat stone to use as the eyes on a grip frame. Granted I don't have the cash now (school is sucking me dry, about to break into the savings bonds) but maybe after I hit the real job world.
    This space for rent.

    Personally I don't think it would be functional and you would risk losing the gems while playing. That and you're just begging for your gun to get stolen.

            Sounds like you already have a use for that diamond.

            I have not had either one, but I have seen the numbers and an extra engagement ring is a whole lot cheaper than a divorce (but worth a few books).
