| Anybody know of any options for this in the Twin Cities? Thank you. |

Quoted: I had mine done at atomic, they had it done in less than a week IIRC and as SJU mentioned they dont ship it. The guy who does their engraving picks it up and drops it back off at their shop when its done. |

Orion Arms in Lino Lakes. I've had at least 5 done by Ryan and maybe because I'm a frequent customer or he had a lull or whatever, but I think he had my last receiver back to UPS the day after getting it.
Orion Arms Cost has typically been just shy of $70 including insured return shipping and MN sales tax. PS...he requests getting it via UPS with a money order. After getting resistance the first time from UPS for shipping something to a place with "Arms" in the name, I have since been sending "plaques" to "Orion Engraving"...no issues...just make the MO out to Orion Arms |

Just thought I'd update this. I used Tar Heel State Firearms and they did an awesome job. Had the top of the trigger area done on a mega billet lower (trigger guard is permanent). Cost me $15.36 to ship it there and then $45 for the engraving which included $15 for return shipping. So $60.36 total.
Sent it out Friday the 15th and had it back today, not bad considering the MLK holiday last week. Oh and everything was paid via credit card on their site, print the paperwork and send it with the lower. Simple. |

Quoted: Any reason you can't engrave your own? Not directed to the op, but looking at nfa toys and I have a CNC. IIRC, there was a thread in one of the tech forums, where someone electro-pencil engraved theirs in huge sloppy letters. |

Quoted: Sure you can, but can you do this? Not mine but mine was done the same way http://tarheelstatefirearms.com/store/image/cache/data/AR%20Lower%20inside%20trigger%20guard-500x500.jpg Quoted: Quoted: Any reason you can't engrave your own?

Sure, no problem. Just use the 3D printer to make a jig to hold the lower that way on the CNC. ETA: Obviously, the lower would have to be stripped first.. Quoted:

That's the thing, they do it no disassembly required. |
