Laser engraving will come off with certain cleaning materials, it's extremely hard to find an engraver in Springfield, Joplin area! Been looking for a year.

No it won't.  Laser engraving burns into the finish, so it can not be removed.  The only way for it to go away, is if the rest of the finish is also removed.  Certain chemicals and oils being rubbed into the engraving may darken it some, but it is still there, and can be cleaned up again.

Me too man.  Bull's trophy house does not.  The trophy shop on sunshine & glenstone does but I don't believe it's to ATF specs.  Good luck in your search.  Let us know what you find.

For what the OP is wanting, there are no ATF specs.  He would be fine with an engraver that doesn't go as deep.  ATF only has specs for specific info such as SN, manuf, etc. etc.

Ill call a trophy shop here in Bentonville and see if they laser engrave firearms. Its an hour and a half drive but if he does it, I wouldnt mind doing the leg work, if you shipped me the part and I could drop it off to him. I have a lower that will need to be engraved. If he does it I will post pics.
