A friend of mine spent some time in Alaska and many Eskimos had the case head inlet into their rifle stock.

Whenever there was a communication gap, they just displayed the case head when trying to buy ammunition.

Gp100man, im glad you like those, and thank you very much for the good words!!!! I thought about killing an unused primer and using it but decided to go with the fired one because it added charicture, glad i did.

My S&W M19 came into my possession with .357 case heads inset into the stocks. Fired primers, yes, that too. The primers eventually fell out.
 
Hey GP100man, Your gun's a bit out of time...

j/k :D Very cool look, I think I'll steal it next time I make some grips ;) Way better than adding text or something gawdy, and it even looks like a miniature "armorers disc" like they used to put on the milsurp bolt-guns. I suppose you could even match a case head with the gun maker (remington, etc.)

Do you know if the case was just pressed in, or was it glued in place? I suppose you could "flare" out the cut edge of the case against the wood too, to keep it from ever falling out.
