I know Tarheel isn’t set up for it, but Mark @ http://ncengravers.com might be.
You definitely want to do the tube? I’ve done all of mine on one of the ends in a circular pattern. |

Ident doesn't have a 4th axis to do this.
I don't to do the light body since thats the part that typically wears out the fastest on these guns. The trunnion that screws into the body and is steel so I want to engrave that instead. I thought about doing the barrel itself with all of our info and the caliber but the trunnion would be so cool to do then I can make barrels of different calibers. Here's what I made, just not my gun Maglite 410 To clear something else up, I work for an SOT so I got to build it first without a permission slip from Uncle Sugar. |

I’ve done all of mine on one of the ends in a circular pattern. Just checked with NC Engravers and they don't do engraving around the tubes anymore. I'm trying a local gun engraver, like artistic engraving, today and see if he can help out. thanks for the suggestions. |

Any reason it has to be laser and not milled?
A good friend of mine sells Umarq machines has samples at her house. I used to go over and she'd do my engraving for free. They rely on pressure and so there's no need for "programming". Just like doing a 2D surface, but the part spins. These would be found, mostly, in a trophy shop vs firearm engraver. I know lasers are popular so they're what a lot of places have. |

I just can't find any shops that will do milling that want to mess with it. There's a trophy shop 100 yards away from the shop and they won't touch it.
I just hoping to find a firearms friendly shop that would do it for me but it's looking like I need to venture out and see what I can find. |

You called any jewelry stores? They engrave the insides of round rings all the time.
And my cheap ass buddy did an oil filter adapter for his first form 1 can. He had the adapter engraved around the outside at a kiosk in the mall. |

I'll try those places. I never thought about a jewelry store. That might work.

I believe Phil at Veritas Machining LLC could do that. He does great work and I have been very impressed with everything I have seen him do. I will be taking several for more pieces to him myself.

It was a “Things Remembered” store, which engraves all kinds of things for people all day. Lesson learned. Also used a trophy shop once. Second worst one I’ve had done. |

Mod 1 also does engraving, super fast turn around on everything he's done for me. |
