For those who serialized thier Aks

[steelholder]

Where did you guys add the serial to the receiver, Ive heard you need to take to a special shop to have it done(trophy,engraver), whats keeping us from using a stamp kit and doing it ourselves (given we do a good job)? I think Ill be reg'ing at least one of my AKs and keeping others featureless.

You heard wrong. You're free to do it yourself.

I'm assuming you are in the San Fernando Valley. If so, and you decide not to do it yourself, Atomic Engraving is in Sylmar. He is a great guy. https://www.atomicengraving.com/

I second Atomic, I ordered some 80's from them and the marking was excellent.

Electro etch with salt and vinegar and 12 volts from my car's battery for 3 minutes. Photos attached. Really easy. Did it to some bare and anodized aluminum too.
