Inletting Barrel Key escutcheons

[Dale Lilly]

I have noticed, on various guns, that the escutcheons are not inlet but simply screwed to the surface. Is one way better or is it simply a matter of choice?

it is a matter of choice but I think they should be inletted just like the originals

I prefer inleted so my hands/gloves don't catch on them.

I've always inletted the key escutcheons and also redid the ones on my TC Hawken......they weren't inletted. ....Fred

Non inlet is just to speed up production. I say inlet.
