The last engraver I used seems to have disappeared. There's a thread on him here:
https://www.ar15.com/forums/Hometown/Albuquerque-Laser-Engraving-NFA-Engraving-Still-Open-/48-637538/

Ive decided to make/convert a few more lowers to SBRs before the ATF and Biden decide that all braces are evil and slams the door like the BATFE did on bump stocks. Only thing stopping them right now is this Texas Federal lawsuit by the Second Amendment Foundation, and others, which has a good rundown on the fuzzy status of firearm braces:

So I'm looking for someone local who can do NFA and other firearms engraving. Anyone?

Is there nobody doing this in ABQ? I may have to go to PHX to get some lowers engraved.

Rick Kennedy at Southwest Gun Tech does. He did my last few including my M249.

I'd listen to 99HMC4, he knows his shit, and knows all the other local people who know their shit...can't say I know SW Gun Tech because 99HMC4 has done the things I've needed lately.

I use two guys for all my laser work. Lee and Rick. Both solid guys and quality work. I’ve had them both work on some very expensive weapons of mine. Talk to both, I highly recommend both dudes.


If anyone wants Lee’s number, Pmags me. Here’s Ricks info

On Friday I saw some work she did the previous week, so I believe business is open.

What is the turnaround time? I have a lower I need engraved with trust info. I form 1’d like 7 years ago an it got crammed in the back of safe. I ordered my upper to finish it (coming in Friday) an I just realized it wasn’t engraved. Is it like abq laser engraving was an you make an appointment an he will do it while you wait?

I found out The Recognition Place, 4770 Montgomery Blvd, bought Lee's laser (the guy on Cagua) and his files and is set up to do quality engraving, both for NFA and  also for completing other projects. Thomas is the guy there to talk to. He worked with me to get my HK clone lower engraved perfectly. And, the price was very reasonable. He also worked fairly quickly taking about a week.

I'm in the Alamogordo area (High Rolls, actually) and can do NFA engraving and cerakote (will be certified in August).
