If you cannot find anything in your area, look up Innovative Arms in Elgin. See if Phil can set you up an appointment where he can knock it out as you wait. He’s appointment only now since he had so many old retired guys just showing up to drink coffee and shoot the shit. He literally had to put up an 8’ tall fence with a lock to keep them out.

THSF in Matthews, NC is about the same distance as Innovative Arms in Elgin. I used THSF last month. They were more flexible on scheduling local appointments than Innovative Arms was when I contacted IA in 2018. THSF still offers more engraving options than IA, if you need more font choice or engraving locations like the trigger area.
Don't take this as a knock on IA. I've not used them yet. But I may on my next Form 1 build. Elgin is much less of a drive for me. |

Phil uses a dot matrix punch engraver for hard items and laser for aluminum.
He did a good job on my MP5 and if I didn’t point it out, you might have a hard time finding it. Now ECCO Machine did my Form 1 can and it’s true cut out engraving. A true work of art. |

Perhaps he'll chime in about that place in Indian Head NC where he goes to have his engraving done. I've tagged along with him and it's really neat to watch them put an image on a computer then watch the laser do its thing. In...and...out. |

Other than Phil in Camden, do we have anybody in SC that does NFA engraving? I’ve had a few done in Lexington at the place in the BILO shopping center, the name escapes me. But the guy died and the new management doesn’t do it now.
I’ve been looking at laser engravers and contemplating purchasing one. Trying to determine the level of need. I definitely don’t want to end up engraving ladies Yeti cups trying to pay for the machine. With my SOT 02 kicking in July 1, I’m looking for additional services to offer. |

If you are in the North August area, 144 Firearms does the dot matrix engraving. You can find him online, but he is a home based FFL so you have to make an appointment with him.

I have a pentograph engraver. I have done 2 and I have let 2 other guys use it to engrave their AR's. You're welcome to come over and use it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: By any chance did you acquire that from Gerard Millers estate? Hope you are doing well in the upstate. Hello Dave! I'm well and waiting on paperwork for an Uzi. I got the engraver from work several years ago before it hit the dumpster. Nice snag on the machine, they can produce great looking markings, Gerard engraved my MP5 clone with one just a couple months before he passed. Congrats on the Uzi too. The OP would do well to take you up on your generous offer! |
