    I don't want etching, unfortunately. I looked at that above and it looks great, but not for me. Unless that's somehow deeper than it looks?

      +1 on vaderspade. I've had him do a bunch for me . he does great work and has a fast turn around time. It Has to be before any work is done to the 80% first thou.

            Is there a simple roll press or something that can stamp into 7075 aluminum, or are ya'll talking it to the mall before you mill it out, or what?

            Thanks guys, appreciate the info.

                If the OP would disclosed his location, I'm sure many would chime in with suggestions of where he can have it done.

                .

                    Proper?! If you do inside the mag well or the FC group what's it matter how it looks? It is there to identify it in case it is stolen or if you transfer (sell) it. This way the outside of my receiver is just black and clean.
                    I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong...

                      Going to get mine engraved eventually so I tagged this thread for later.

                      Anyone know of places around the oceanside/North County area? For a later date.

                        Tanner's in San Jose does a good job. He did one of my gun buddie's and also another calgunner.



                        I hope the owner doesn't mind me posting.
