What do you do for a living?

[Larry Ashcraft]

Own a retail awards shop. I make trophies and plaques and do all types of engraving (laser and diamond). Been doing this for forty years. Not much money in it these days but it's still an enjoyable job (greatest customers in the world).

I'm a one-man shop these days because of the economy.

Can you do engraving on NFA lowers?

Can you do engraving on NFA lowers?

Not usually. My laser is an older one without auto-focus, so if the part is flat I can probably do it. I do a lot of barrels for several gunsmiths around here, but I use the old pantograph and diamond engrave them.

I did put a Navy logo on a sideplate of a j-frame the other day for a friend. I used my new computer controlled engraver.

A little known fact I found out about several years ago; The ATF considers engraving as gunsmithing. Therefore, if a trophy shop keeps a firearm or receiver overnight, they are technically supposed to have an FFL. True or not, I don't keep anybody's gun overnight except my own.
