Some of the required information for engraving is the name of the manufacturer (you) or the trust name. Followed by the city/state. It must be engraved in a plain font in a readily readable location. The minimum depth requirement is .003 inches and .0625 inches in height. We normally engrave to .005″ so that you can coat the gun with any of the coating endurance products without a problem at a later date. We can also engrave through any coating product without any problem. We also touch up the engraved area with a proprietary blackening agent that leaves the surface permanently coated and protected in the engraved area.
Note
All rifle receivers sent in for engraving CAN be stripped down in order to make shipping less expensive. We can do engraving whether the receiver is stripped or not. Our default location for the engraving is over the trigger pins on the right side if available. On the form which you include with your receiver you can specify the engraving location of your choice. You can also add an image to the magwell if desired. We charge $60 plus shipping for doing the ATF NFA required engraving. All engraving done to meet ATF spec’s. The additional charge for an image on the mag is typically $22.50.
Frequently Asked Questions About Short Barrel Rifle (SBR) Engraving
Short barrel rifles are subject to specific federal regulations, making proper engraving an important part of the registration process. The following questions address common concerns from firearm owners seeking professional SBR engraving services and related firearm marking solutions.
Why does my short barrel rifle need to be engraved?
When an individual or legal entity manufactures an SBR under the National Firearms Act (NFA), federal regulations generally require certain identifying information to be permanently engraved on the firearm. Proper engraving helps ensure the firearm is correctly marked according to applicable requirements.
What information is typically engraved on an SBR?
Most SBR engraving projects include the maker’s name or trust name, along with the city and state where the firearm was manufactured. The exact information required may vary depending on the registration details and ownership structure.
Where can SBR engraving be placed on a firearm?
The engraving location depends on the firearm’s design and configuration. Common locations include the receiver, frame, or other approved areas that provide sufficient visibility and permanence while maintaining the firearm’s appearance and functionality.
