    Default SBR Engraving.

    Since the last thread turned into like a huge argument. I am in the process of making an SBR out of a lower that I have had for some time now. I need to have it engraved and would like this to happen quickly. I live in the Allentown area and would like if I didnt have to send it out some where through an FFL. The cheaper the better!

    check your local yellow pages for Trophy shops that can engrave while you wait.

    I was told that it needs to be done with a laser, and certain specs must be met. I would much rather have someone do it that has done it before. Much rather then wishing someone the best of luck. I mean its almost like going to the bank and asking them to fix my car!

Carbide cutters are best.) Much rather then wishing someone the best of luck. I mean its almost like going to the bank and asking them to fix my car!

    Donley's Gun Shop in Quakertown did mine and did a fine job. Low price if I remember correctly. Give him a call.

    I had orion arms do mine years ago. I sent him an image to engrave on the side of the mag well as well. i was told the hard anodizing of the receiver can chip with engravers. I saw some photos of some guys receiver he had a pimple faced kid at the gift shop in the mall engrave and it looked like complete shit.

    +1 on Donelly's. He is engraving a lower for me, as we speak. Cost:$75

    Make sure you tell him to blacken the engraving. Make sure it is marked on your receipt. He doesn't always do it even when specified.

    Please let us know how it turns out. I'd like to use Donelly's also, but I'm concerned about the anodizing chipping.

    I know Orion Arms and Ident do nice work, but I'd rather not deal with the hassle of mailing out of state.
