Thread: Trying new stuff

Hello all.

I picked up a Desert Eagle 1911C recently, and I'm gearing up to do some gunsmithing work.



I have alot of things planned for the pistol, but one thing in particular I'd like to do is install a bobtail (which I've done before) and stipple the bottom of it, like this:


My question is: do I need to heat the MSH before I try to stipple it? Or do I work on it cold?

Thanks for your help!
