I just filed my first Form 1 a few weeks ago, and I was dragging my feet on getting my lower engraved. Tar Heels State Firearms came highly recommended, and now, I know why. According to UPS, it was received sometime on Wednesday afternoon, and I swear that they engraved my lower the instant that it arrived. I got a USPS notification the same day that it arrived! Amazingly fast...
I was a little reluctant to leave good feedback until I saw the final product, and I'm still amazed at their service. I had them engrave my trust information inside the trigger guard, and it was correct and precise. I am very happy with their speed and accuracy. I'll be sending future projects their way! |

If the mailman would make a second lap through the neighborhood, I bet they could ship them out same day.
I keep repeating it, but they're the best (and rare) combination of speed, price and quality. Usually you only get to pick two. |

Glad to hear it, I have been thinking about trying them. Has anyone sent them an MP5?

When they did mine I got invited in; had a great chat with Scott (hope that shoulder is back up to speed) and his lovely wife (dangitall, can't remember her name); got to ogle all the stuff in his display case, meet his dogs (that old Lab wasn't too sure about me :), and watch the engraving take place.

There was discussion of him possibly having to go back under the knife. Yuck. |

Yep, she will do it as you wait also. Super cool lady to hang out with.

Yes, their engraving is top notch, as is the rest of their business. Good people.

I agree with what BW said. They are awesome. They do a very nice engraving inside the collapsible stock tracks for MP5s. Picture is on their website. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

So with THSF, do I ship the lower through an FFL or just Drop it in a UPS box and send it on its way.

View Quote That (as far as who to use) gets discussed around here as nauseum in regards to what's legal, the requirement to notify shipper, and the definition of firearm/etc. So much so that I'm never entirely sure what the consensus is. It is considered a repair, so no use of an FFL is required. Even though I simply drive to his house, I have used CS223 and Ident before Scott got his laser. For Chuck, I've always just sent them USPS Priority Mail (small flat rate box works for a lower). Ident specifies on their site you can use USPS, FedEx or UPS to ship it to them...and they ship it back UPS (based on the options available at checkout). |

Sounds a lot like our local guy

Pretty quick turn around. FANTASTIC engraving Great CS. |

Stupid question.... How do I get a return shipping label?
Do I just ask for one at USPS when I ship the package, or is it something that I need to do online (and know the actual weight of the package)? |

After printing your postage to send it to them, you can print another one shipping it to yourself. You can select that you'll ship from a different ZIP, but if you're doing flat rate it won't matter. |

THSF is good people. I need to send them a few more lowers. I dropped mine off last time and waited and it was a great experience.

I actually drove there personally to have it done. They are nice folks, and watching the fancy laser engraving machine do it's thing is cool.

For those with polymer items like the CZ scorpion, THSF does an unbelievably excellent job of engraving these. The engraving was perfect and looked just like it was done at the factory. Definitely recommend anyone needing engraving on a Scorpion to send it to THSF. They have a great spot on the rear of the bottom angled area of the upper. Very clean.

Just mailed off 5 pieces to THSF to be engraved. I called them a couple of times to get clarification on a few things, they answered every time and were more than eager to help. I have no doubt they will make me a repeat customer.

Just got my receivers back from them. GREAT work. Highly recommended. They also called me to verify and even make some suggestions before engraving. A+
|
|
My experience sounds like all the rest.
Scott was great with answering questions and I had my receivers back in less than a week. Nice work, quick turnaround and great CS. |
|
I'll just echo everyone's experience here. Shipped out on a Friday, they received the next Monday, they sent me the shipping notification on Tuesday, I had the receiver back in my hands on Thursday. Less than one week turnaround including shipping days and a weekend in the middle. Great work, too.

Awesome work on my 870 and Ar lower. I think I may send in another soon.

Printed a shipping label to go to THSF just now View Quote Ooooh...I might need to run over there and "help" them with that engraving. A really small "BIGWAYLON WAS HERE" engraving will only increase the value. I'm expecting my F1 approval any day for my first SBS, so I'll need to make a trip anyway. |

Where did you have THSF engrave them? I just sent them 2 MP5's (POF/MKE) and asked them to put it on the left side towards the top. I hope I picked a good spot. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I mailed it Wednesday of last week, they got it Friday, they had it back out in the mail by Saturday, and I got it Monday. Awesome service!

Another bump for THSF. The did some engraving for me and it was top notch and I had it back within the week.
|

I had such a great experience a couple of weeks ago with THSF doing my engraving that I just sent off some more stuff to get engraved. Good stuff!

My lower was delivered Saturday 3/26 and I received an email around 9am MST saying its complete and will return ship today. Happy customer, again.

Another attaboy to THSF...Sent 5 receivers off last Tuesday and got them back TODAY....That's less than a week and more than halfway across the country.
Engraving looks GREAT and instructions were followed to a T. Won't hesitate to refer anyone to them! |
