    Default SBR font size.

    What is the correct size?
    I have seen hundreds of opinions...

    It would help to know what type of firearm you're talking about.

    AR15 SBR from a pistol. I have seen people with engravings that are huge taking up half the mag well.
    Almost exactly like this "NAME OF TRUST SOMETHIGCITY, PA." that's almost an 1/8th of an inch. I have even seen it bigger on some guns.
    I always thought the letters can be a minimum of a 1/16" tall, .003 deep.

    Your quote is an accurate understanding of the legal requirement.

    Thanks. I thought this was right but I see a lot of conflicting stuff all over the place.

    I prefer the engraving a bit deeper. A coat or two of cerakote to refinish it or a custom paint job can make .003 pretty hard to read.
