I had a few lowers to get engraved for some From 1s, and some local guys were charging excessive amounts. I read about THSF on ArfCom, so I gave them a call last Tuesday 11.6. After answering a few questions, I shipped them my lowers and they were delivered on Friday 11.9. I received an email on Saturday 11.10 saying they were already on the way back and I go them today, Tuesday 11.13.

If you have anything you need engraved, THSF is the way to go. My local guys were asking more than twice the price and had WEEKS turnaround time. THSF did them for half the price and had DAYS turnaround time.

Great prices, great turnaround time and great work

Agreed. One of the best companies in the industry.

Just got mine back today as well from them.

If you time it right, they receive them in the morning, get engraved, and go back out that afternoon. I've seen many reports of about a week door-to-door-to-door.

They are the rare combination of speed, price, and quality. Most of the time you only get to choose two of those.

Another +1 for THSF

Looks like I'm going to give them a go for a couple I need done. I've been looking and came across them the other day but them being a fair bit lower price wise I was reluctant to try them. Sounds like they are GTG.

They are good folks. Worth my trip to Matthews from Winston Salem to be my "go to" SOT.

Ok i've placed my "order" for 2 lowers to be engraved.

How do I mail them in? USPS ok? or do I have to use Fedex or UPS? Anything special I fill out or tell them?

One is pending still and 1 is approved if that matters.

They engraved a form 1 .22 can for me.
Great communication and service.

I called them about a year and a half ago about engraving a lower that I was giving to my son as a med school graduation gift. On my drive up to Richmond I stopped by and they engraved it along with several SBR lowers.

Nice folks and very accommodating!

@StarCityShooter

I (and probably others) could use the shipping instructions. Share them here, please?

I sent mine USPS Priority Express(Overnight) with signature and insurance. Cost me $40 but I felt it was worth the cost. They never asked and I never said what it was. I put THSF instead of spelling out the name.

Did some face to face with them, great people there!!

What letter height did y'all go with? I want to have my trust information engraved in the trigger area.

There's no minimum requirement. They usually do it similar in size to the 1/16" for a serial number.

This, but I used FedEx. I put THSF on the address so it didnt have firearms in the label. In my case, FedEx asked about what was being shipped, I just said machine parts

I just bought a gun from them, and asked that they engrave it before it shipped to my dealer. It shipped out the next day.

Big +1. I'll be doing business with them again.

I finally made it back to North Carolina after almost six years being banished to Missouri. I’m going to start form 1ing some stuff after Christmas and will need engraving. I suspect I will visit them in person, I’m in the Triangle but I have a close friend/shooting buddy near them. I’ll visit him and drop stuff off for engraving.
