Will have to PM him about my next. How is the depth compare to Idents work. (I know both are legal depth, just curious is one is deeper) Thanks I've had a lower done by Ident and by CS223. I can't judge depth by eyesight... they look the same? But CS223's font is slightly thicker. I think it looks better and also didn't take 2 months! ETA: Sorry for my awful picture. Ident is on top, CS223 is on bottom. On the T and M on the bottom receiver, its not an imperfection or anything... just dust or some other reflective crud.

Here is my engraving I had done recently w/ CS223. I tried my best to capture the right image with what I have. (Potatocam next to window)
The second picture shows "sparkles", that's just the way the flash reflects off of my spikes lower. Neither of the pictures do the work any justice honestly.

Sorry if this question has been asked but.... Must the lower be stripped when sent to CS223? A question for a pap m 92, can we mail the entire rifle in this case? For AR, I sent fully assembled lower. I just took out buffer and spring. Engraved on right side above hammer pin. For Pap, I took out the bolt, bcg, and spring to save on shipping. He has an ffl, so you can ship to him. |

Where did they engrave it for you? Do you have a pic?? Quoted:

I had two AR lowers and a PAP M92 done. A+++++++ Where did they engrave it for you? Do you have a pic?? Engraved on right side above existing CAI engraving. No pictures, but looks like the other pictures in this thread. It looks factory. I cannot recommend enough. The Pap engraving was more expensive. IIRC, $60 for PAP, $35 for AR. |

Just got two items back from cs223. 1 week from mailing them out to receiving. Communication was amazing and pictures wouldn't do the engraving justice, level and extremely clean. I highly recommend him. This was my first dealing, all due to feedback I read here, and I will be sending all future items to him to engrave. One of mine had been engraved by someone else and I was not pleased with it so I sent it to him to see if he could fix the other persons job. cs223 emailed back and forth with me over the day Saturday discussing options once he was able to look it over, and what he thought would look best. And by Sunday night I had a tracking number.
Thanks again. |
| Sent him two this morning. I've only used Orion before, I'm a little surprised he didn't have an order form with more detail about what needs to happen, what I need to send, things like that. It just seems like Orion had a whole checklist. I guess that's what email is for. |

Just an FYI...I was checking with CS223 about getting a PS90 engraved, and he gave me the following info:

Might want to put that out there, what I get in between now and Tuesday the 14th, I should be able to turn right around but after that, I'll be tied up. I hate to hold onto folks stuff. So...if you're thinking of getting him to engrave one, take a breath and wait a couple weeks. |

^^So what was the word on the ps90? Quoted:
^^So what was the word on the ps90? He's done dozens of them. No problem. Just costs a little more ($50 vs $35) due to setup time. His description: CS223
I've engraved dozens of PS90's I normally do them on the LH side on the area just above the cocking slide, single line. They run $50 due to the extra setup time involved. I also engraved a PS90 case half for a customer. I did it right below the FN egraving on the LH side. It was his choice, the case did have the s/n ID plate. |

I tried sending a PM and email the other day. Hopefully he responds back soon so I could get the ball rolling on a few projects that have been held up due to not having a local engraver. He's been responding super quick to my emails, What email address did you send to? |

It just seems like Orion had a whole checklist. I guess that's what email is for. Yes, I am quoting myself, but only to say that he asks everything he needs to know on emails. I sent them in to him 3 weeks ish ago and got them back 2 weeks ish ago. The work was just as good as Orion but without the wait and less expensive shipping. He communicates well and quickly. |

Sent CS223 a pm a few days ago, does anyone have another form of contact for him? I think his email is listed on his website. I was talking with him earlier this week via email so I can drop off some lowers to him next week because he's fairly local to me. His Website |

Sent lower receiver to CS223 Monday 11/10 with an expected delivery date of 11/12. Hope to have it back next week.
CS223 has been super easy to communicate with and I look forward to getting my first SBR together. Thanks all who posted in this thread. Good work and customer service truly wins the day. As it sits now, all future engraving work will be headed to him. |

You guys are working me like a red-headed step child.  You're welcome. (At least it's not a free service you're offering) 
It's just proof of what my dad tried to tell me years ago. Start a business, provide a quality good or service with consistently good customer service, and you'll have people lined up at the door. And as a red-headed step child myself, welcome to the club.
