It would be for me, that is true, but I appreciate the input anyhow! Could be useful for the next guy.

I think this question came up a while back... We came to the conclusion that Customized Creations and another place in Indiana (can remember the name right now) were the closest places for someone in Southwest Michigan.

I had Veritas Machining engrave two AR lowers for me and I was impressed with the experience. The rates were good and I was kept aware of the entire process. I was even sent a mock up of what the engraving would look like before he machined it.

There are two engraving places I drive by but they are not open yet when I drive by in the AM, and closed when I drive by in at night. No idea if they will engrave guns or not, but maybe worth checking out. Custom Engraving 889 76th Street SW #20 Byron Center MI 49315 Located west of the Family Fare gas station on 76th and Clyde Park. (about 1 mile west of 131 ) found a website for them, but does not list hours, : http://customengravinginc.com/shopping-cart/site/pageone.php and http://engravingjobshop.com/products/aluminum-engraving/j7zsP67L5t20r1/ And : Michigan Laser West 552 76th St SW Byron Center, MI 49315 Located on 76th, Between 131, and Clyde Park. On the south side of the road, after the Mobile, and before the RR Tracks. I can' t seem to find a website for them. I have no affiliation or experience with either of these two. ETA : Scratch the second one, looks like they sell Surveying equipment. |

What are your guys thoughts on the ATF engraving requirements. They seem very specific. Does this mean laser engraving may not qualify? (go deep enough)
§ 479.102 How must firearms be identified? (a) You, as a manufacturer, importer,or maker of a firearm, must legibly identify the firearm as follows: (1) By engraving, casting, stamping (impressing), or otherwise conspicuously placing or causing to be engraved, cast, stamped (impressed) or placed on the frame or receiver thereof an individual serial number. The serial number must be placed in a manner not susceptible of being readily obliterated, altered, or removed, and must not duplicate any serial number placed by you on any other firearm. For firearms manufactured, imported, or made on and after January 30, 2002, the engraving, casting, or stamping (impressing) of the serial number must be to a minimum depth of .003 inch and in a print size no smaller than 1/16 inch; (iv) In the case of a domestically made firearm, the city and State (or recognized abbreviation thereof) where you as the manufacturer maintain your place of business, or where you, as the maker, made the firearm; |

I know that I want fairly deep, sharp, engraving since I have a tendency to Krylon stuff. Hopefully Veritas can accommodate that. I don't dig pretty-but-shallow laser engraving.

I mailed two receivers off to Veritas very late Tuesday afternoon. He emailed me mid day Thursday to verify that he had them in hand. A few emails later I had a proof and he said they should be done no later then this coming Monday.

8 days round trip. He was very professional, kept me informed the entire way, sent a submital pic to verify the font and location, and the engraving is DEEP. He also somehow blacked out the engraving to make it match the finish. He had no problem engraving the magwell lip. I've already purchased three more receivers to sbr and when the stamps come back ill have him engrave those too. He also sent some photos of commemerative engravings he's done that were impressive. So ill be having at least one of the next receivers engraved for the birth of my son.

Just received my 4 receivers back from Phil, and I have to say it was one of the most professional business exchanges I've had in quite some time. Great communication and above all else absolutely perfect work and short turnaround.
I would recommend Veritas as the go-to for MI members.
