Laser etched/engraved gun pic request.

[ArmedArtist]

I am going to start a job in a few days that has laser etcher/engravers. I wanted to see if anyone has ever had anything engraved on any of your guns. On the stocks or lowers or slides? I was running the ides through my mind. Its a friends company and he's into guns also so we were thinking of stuff to engrave. Lets see any pics if you have them. Ive looked a bit in Google images but haven't seen a bunch of stuff.

Can the laser etcher engrave the American flag into the slide of a 1911?

Yep. There is a 30watt and a 140 watt at the shop. Just need to take measurements, make the image and let the laser do the rest of the work. I think thats how they do a majority of AR lowers. I'm just looking for custom stuff to get some ideas and see what people have.

Check out oceansidepistol.com forum. they had a thread about a local SD County shop doing custom laser engraving.

We laser engrave anodized / non-anodized gun parts all the time !

You don't really need anything super-powerful ... 30 watts will get the job done

But if you're looking for actual etching into the metal ... you're gonna need a YAG laser

This piece I posted is for a local customer of mine - I want to get more into firearms!
