Thank y'all ( forgive that word, I'm from the South ) so much. I will take everything that I've been told and see what i can do. This gun is very special to me. We found out on February 7th that my dad had terminal liver cancer and he passed away on March 2nd. Thats only 23 days but i have almost 39 years of memories with him that cancer cannot touch!!! Anyways, for the past several years i paid my parents income taxes. Every one of those years i had planned to purchase an AR-15 but never could due to the income taxes. My father had a good amount of life insurance money that i never knew anything about. Nothing huge but it was enough to bury him and pay off some debt. He told my mother to buy me a AR with some of that money so i did. This gun will never be sold and will forever be passed down thru the generations to come. I am also wanting to find someone that can engrave something on my lower. Nothing dramatic, maybe something like his name along with his birthday as well as his day that he went to be with Jesus. If anyone has ever dealt with having a gun engraved please let me know what a good route to take for having that done is. Once again, Thank You and may God bless you.
