There's a member on here that does engraving (CS223). SUPER nice guy down in the Gainesville area. I had him do a can transfer for me.
If you want local check Ghost Town Guns on powers |

We have used CS223 for years. Always great work. Very neat and clean, I just had him do my SCAR a couple weeks ago. There's places closer to me/us, but he gets stuff back to us quickly and his pricing is very reasonable.

EDITED:
I had to go w/ GPI years ago to engrave a glock lower b/c that guy in gainsesville couldn't do it since there was no perfectly flat plane on the frame for him to make uniform engraving as he uses a type of mill. GPI lasered it perfectly, and a copule ARs and a shotgun. I think they were actually sub'ing it out... ETA: either place subs it out to the same place...either East Coast Laser Works aor First Coast Laser Works, can't remember the name. The guy's name is Art that owns it. I think he also has an interest in GTG but it is a seperate company. ETA: the guy w/ the laser in Jax is Art w/ Coast 2 Coast Laserwerks. They are right there on powers near where GPI used to be, where Ghost Town Guns is now. 6254 Powers. 904-701-8920 www.c2claserwerks.com |

GPI did my AR SBR's. I am now thinking about having one coated and I am worried the engraving isn't deep enough.

It wasn't because there wasn't a flat plane, it was because I couldn't get a clean kerf with a conventional micro end mill. Well, at least not without spending an hour or two getting rid of all the furry edges. Soft plastics are/were a PITA and I just stopped doing them because I wasn't happy with the how they looked and the effort it took to get them right. I've since remedied the problem with a custom engraving bit made by a company in MA, application specific, $$$$. It gives a perfectly clean cut. A tiny thing, fragile as burnt hair. And yes, I use a CNC mill for my work either my Hurco VM10 or my Minitech Mini-Mill-2. YAG laser does a great job and that's what all the big boys use for everything from plastics to stainless. It's on my wish list as soon as I have a free $50,000 to spend. Any folks that want an uneven surface like inside the trigger guard area, I recommend having someone laser it. I also have a Lectroetch V-45A but it doesn't see much use, too much involved having custom stencils made for one-of jobs and it only works on unfinished metal. I have some future plans for it though.

Another +1 for CS223. He just engraved 3 things for me and cut my Uzi rifle barrel down nicely. Highly recommend him.

I sent it off to CS223.
I should have it back in a week or two. I'll post some pics of his handy work once I have it back in hand. |

Had the pleasure of having Charles do some engraving on a SBR lower. Some minor problems arose and he was quick to communicate with me regarding the issue.
The work was excellent and Charles is a rare find these days: a man of honor and honesty. He'll definitely get all my future work. |

Turned out pretty good. It looks deeper than typical SBR engraving and I'm confident that the cerakote will be good to go.
