    Cool Dust Cover Laser Engraving Source - Is This Like Finding A Unicorn?

    So I've got a couple of ejection port dust covers that I want to get custom engraved.

    I called around Colorado Springs yesterday to laser engravers to see who could do this for me. I found no one that knew what these dust covers even were but got the same types of responses:
    "I could probably do it, but I can't guarantee how well it would turn out."
    "I could probably do it, but it'll cost $25 - $30 to do each one."
    Etc.

    Anyone know a place that does this work? I've had a couple of others done before through another member and they were only about $10 a piece for the engraving (both sides of the cover).

    Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope!

    I broke down and ordered mine from Spikes. This is a third party but cheap:

    Bowers had some custom engraved for them a while back...
    Shadow Op's in Longmont has a laser engraver, maybe hit them up!

    Man there was some talks about this a while back and I remember it being pretty reasonable. I am searching now but there are a lot of threads that come up under "engraving"

    Did you try T&T Engraving in the 'springs? They have an FFL and do engraving for NFA firearms (they engraved two of my SBRs).

    Don't expect the person who answers the phone to know what a dust cover is, though. I'd bring it in and let them look at it.

    I had my E-Port cover engraved by Harford Engraving. It wasn't laser, but they'll engrave whatever you want for $20.

    Would any of those places do valve covers and air cleaners for a 350?
