IANAL but don't the import markings for a lot of guns end up looking like that? I'm looking at you, CAI.

Nodak does that with their receivers. Early ones had big dot spacing, newer ones have tight spacing (see pic)
Eugh, you'd think for the reputation they have they'd do laser engraving.

I just had my MP5 clone engraved by Integrity Laser, Inc. in Nashua, NH. I contacted the owner Jeff via email and setup a visit on Friday morning. The engraving was done while I waited (and watched). It came out great and the cost was $90. Unlike the online places (typically around $60 - $70) I didn't have to wait and there was no shipping charge back and forth. Great value and excellent job!

Nice. Where did you put it? I'm hoping my form 1 is in between Christmas and New Years and I'm hoping to get it done then.
Had a after market 3 lugged navy barrel done at Jacks Machine in Hanson a few weeks ago .They were able to mark it right between the lugs and the thread protector

They're great to work with. Will be going there again as soon when my next stamp comes back.
Yes, I have a stamp pending, will be in to see you guys again in the next few weeks.
I went to Jack's Machine Shop for 2 guns last week and it came out awesome on steel and aluminum. I'm getting the steel gun back this Saturday and I'll try to get nice pics of it
Whoa, my inbox has been blowing up all day with questions about the engraving, so I'll just post the details here again for anyone who has questions.

We're not an FFL so if you want something done, you need come by with whatever you want done and wait for it. It usually never takes more than a half hour. You can watch while I do the work and let me know what you want for engraving, location, etc.
As we're a regular job shop, you want to call ahead (the day before at the latest would be great), to make sure the laser is available and that I'm not on vacation or something.
I mentioned earlier in the thread that the engraving isn't limited to just SBR markings, we can do any kind of text, logos, etc on all sorts of metals. For the SBR engraving we are charging $65 for the first one, and $60 each for any more subsequent ones you bring at the same time. The cost for any other engraving would have to be figured out on a case by case basis.
I think that covers everything. On a personal note, I just want to say that this stuff isn't really a money maker for us, I just figured I could help out some local guys get their guns engraved if I could. I actually sold my last pistol a couple years ago and haven't had anything since, but still want to help out other gun people.

As far as the engraving goes, is there anything saying that the name of the trust has to all be on the same line? I filed mine under my full name followed by REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST. Is there any reason I can't do my full name on one line, REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST below it, followed by Agawam, MA below that?
You don't ever want to sell any of those trust items do you? What happens when the trust is terminated, your beneficiaries will have that plastered across the firearms. Not the best planning for possible theft and being found at the scene of a mass murder either...
Took my lower to Nitor Laser in Southwick MA. The owner Steve stayed late to accommodate my schedule and did a great job with the lower. I got a nice tour of the place too showing off all the work he does for manufacturers of guns and accessories. He's even starting a small retail shop. Great guy.
