Well like the title says, what exactly is milling? I sorta, kinda, think I know what it is :) but Im not 100% sure. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

its cut carves or shapes cut into the body of the marker to make it look cool, here is an example of some SWEEET MILLING -

Ahhhh bingo! Gotcha, thanks abunch. So is that something like annodizing that you can have done to a gun?

No no, what I was wondering was could I (if I wanted to) take a gun to somebody and say "mill this" or whatever the term would be hehehe? :)

[VeNoM]

i think you can have it sent to companies that specialize in milling, i think its rather expensive though, not 100% sure though

There is a car shop here where i live that did some milling to my friends impulse... it looks ok, the gun was kainda ment to be left alone if you know what i am saying.

Ugly milling example!

LOL ok thanks guys hehe, I've got it now. :)
I dont want it done to my gun or anything, I just keep hearing about it and so I was curious as to what exactly it is. Thanks again!

Milling isn't just for looks, it also lightens the marker, which is always a plus!

But it does look cool! ;)
