Cerakote the gun a different color, and use different mags, and or mags colored differently.

Find a local industry engraver and have them do the chambering on the barrel end. I have maybe ten plus customs that aren't marked. I pity anyone that tries loading a 223 in some of those caverns. They are all marked above the chambers but the FF tube covers them. I have several custom bolt guns that have no markings anywhere.
The fellow charged with liquidating my gun stuff will not have any problems identifying them since he built most of them and will get them a good home and my wide a healthy chunk of change. Greg |

Greg uppers are cheap enough , I don't mind the $40 blems and figure there are going to be some good deals on the 28th to add a few more to the shelf |

Six more would be crowding it.. LOL. At some point you have to call calf rope. Greg |

Paint them different colors for caliber specific identification and then paint the magazines to match the way the upper is painted.

Isn't the problem of his heirs knowing what they are the real issue? Color coding them is good for range work but if Joe Schmo gets one later he wouldn't know it's a 300 BLK vs a brown or green rifle. Greg |

".300 Blackout" engraved on the ejection port cover. I think this is the easiest thing to do if it isn't already marked up at the muzzle like most barrels are. You can get them off ebay for $15-$20 etched professionally. |

Almost evey one I own is odd. If I only had a few I'd go that route too but I'm as likely to have four new ones in the next six months. It's just easier to engrave the barrels. Laser work is getting easier and easier to get done. High dollar way would be to send it to the guys that engrave lowers. Greg |

I have ARs in 7 calibers (8 if you count the 308 platform.) Fortunately the shape of the magazine distinguishes most. For 300blk however I use Only 20 round pmags. Black for Subsonic and FDE for Supersonic.
