I had Philips Diamond Shop in Marion engrave my krink and mp5. Came out good enough and the price was cheap. They use a fiber laser.

If you don't mind saying, what was the price? Just trying to gauge budget.

Thanks. I think there's a guy up by me that does it, but I haven't called him yet. I'd rather call closer to the date (after the stamp comes) so he's got less time to reconsider if he's on the fence about guns.

Awards N Time in New Hampton will do engraving, I need to talk to them myself on engraving for my 870. Just got confirmation that they'll engrave guns but haven't talked price yet. You have to go in through the jewelry store(next door to to the west).

Thanks for the heads up. The jewelry store is closing, is that going to affect Awards N Time's business?

Interesting. The original guy I was mentioning is just south of New Hampton. If Awards falls through, let me know and I can get you the name. I haven't called yet to find out if he'll do guns though.

Will do, thanks. Hoping to have time to stop in and talk to them tomorrow. Probably heading to Decorah too so if I do everything I want to, I'm in for a good bit of windshield time.
ETA-there is an engraver in Cresco too, but same issue. Don't know if they'll do guns. I know they'll do grips but no idea on the gun itself. Further ETA-Just got back from Awards N Time. $5 setup fee and 50 cents per letter. Total for mine will be $18. Thought it was more than reasonable. |

They laser engrave all their stuff. Mine was on a polymer receiver, turned out good. Small and not noticeable, blends in with other text.

Awards N Time ended up backing out during the shutdown, I ended up borrowing a set of letter punches and doing it myself. Didn't get things as straight as I'd have liked but it's legal, not horrible and it's done now

Thanks for all the replies. Shouldn't have put off getting my fingerprints in Jan. Now I have to wait for the sheriffs office to start doing them again. Tried doing it myself. Didn't go well.
I'll get this done some day.

I thought your prints had to be witnessed by a LEO?
