Mine is not a SBR engraving but more for honoring someone and a bunch of reasons!

The logo i designed cost me about 60-65 dollars back in 2009 from farmers engraving located in Denver

no one wants to post nfa type engraving? i want to get it done right!

Go here and download the NFA Handbook-
http://www.atf.gov/publications/firearms/nfa-handbook/

It has a plain language explanation of what's required that also references to the regulations (which are in the back).

Some people make their marking as inconspicuous as possible and other put it in the open. It depends on what you want.

I always try to get information from the ATF handbook first. If I don't understand it then ask on the internet.

i already have all the information. i know the guidelines the rules. the depth, the font, the size. i want to see where people have put them and how they turned out. along with that, the company that did it so i have a good diea of a place to do and know what their final product will look like.

I don't have any pictures. I didn't try to hide the engraving. I just told them to do what was easiest.

I have had Farmers in Denver do my engraving. I have a reeaally loonngg trust name. They charge by the number of letters so my bill was about $70. They are very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about NFA engraving. If you want to wait for it you should call ahead for an appointment. I'm happy with them. I have two things that will I will be having them do in couple weeks.

What is the 300 BLK?

I'm guessing the address.




Feel free to PM for engraving. :)

300BLK is also known as the AAC 300 Blackout and 7.62x35mm.

I don't know of any requirements for the chambering to be marked on the receiver though.

What does it say on your AR?

[SAnd]

If you're asking me -
Sorry, that was poorly phrased. I meant that there is no requirement for the maker to mark the caliber if there is already a marking indicating the caliber.

[dogtired]

Actually if you are changing the caliber in primary designation you need to mark the reciever or the barrel with the caliber that is easily read. Since the barrel will be completely covered with foreend, then there it be.

Any gun manufactured, imported, or made on and after January 30, 2002 must have manufacturer information placed at a minimun depth of .003” with a height no smaller than 1/16”.

This information must be engraved, cast, stamped (impressed), or otherwise conspicuously placed on the frame, receiver, or barrel.

Required information on an SBR is the model (if such designation has been made), caliber or gauge, and the manufacturer’s name (or recognized abbreviation). Also for a domestically made (SBR) the city and state (or recognized abbreviation), where you as the manufacturer made the firearm.
