I read a few reviews about this guy’s work and decided to give him a try. The price was right. He turned them around in a night (delivered to him around 3p and in the mail back to me the next morning). The PTR I asked him to do it in a place that was discreet and he knocked it out of the park. I’ll be using this guy going forward.

Girl. Not guy. 
The wife, Teri, handles all the engraving. I’ve had them do nine F1 cans and a couple lowers for me, and close to 100 tumblers and coffee cups for church. They one of the few places where you don’t have to settle for just choosing two when it comes to price, quality and speed. |

I know you can see engraving videos all over the place. But here’s one of THSF doing a 40oz tumbler for me. 2nd Amendment |
| They've done all my AR lowers and 1 AK. I am paranoid about shipping anything gun related so I just drive down from WV and wait while they do them. |

How a politician stands on the Second Amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual… as a trustworthy and productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of.

I wouldn't stand in front of a piss-filled supersoaker. Does that make it a good pistol? - Caboose314
I thought I was covered for 22 cans, but the NFAids is a bitch when it mutates - themagikbullet

Some folks sweat a PO worker stealing it but, it's highly unlikely a PO worker is going to risk time in the Federal Hooscow over a gun. Theft of mail is a federal offense. Things get lost in the mail, usually from sloppy packaging disintegrating while moving through sorting machines (Item falls from damaged package, package goes on without it), but theft? Not very likely. Pack it like a robot is sorting the mail (they do) and it will be fine. |

| I just sent them 4 more items to engrave and even with all the gun related stores being so busy they had them engraved and I received them back within one week. I even had a bit of a strange request, I needed the trust info engraved part above and part below the serial number so it would be visible after being installed in a zk-22 bullpup stock. It came out perfect. |
