  1. Played a bit tonight. Made a copy of my gun's slide. Can only mark a 3x3 area so some serious fixturing is needed.

    This is image shown on marker. Playing with passes and pulses. I do not like this one. First block is 7 passes I settled on 3.

    Reversed image for these. Trying for the wrap here, looks ok but when you see it its sticks out like a sore thumb. First block is lack of fixturing bad mismatch. Moved part and tried again. This is top and side not bad but if I paid for it I would be disapointed.

    What the wife wants burned into hers. Spaces before and after word stopped the J and n from getting cut off.

    I did learn quite a bit this time though. I will be making a fixture and playing more. The radi on top of the slide distort the image quite a bit. I am open to suggestions on a fix. As I cannot get the marker to wrap a 3/8 radius on the end of image.

  2. I am kicking the idea of taking a trip there around. Anyone have any experience with the New England states. Or even Canada. I have a buddy that did this a couple years ago. Any othet info is welcome though.

  3. I will be rocking the progressive no line with transition lens. My helmet has a tinted flip down in it. Found the coastal website. Going to grab the free first pair and leave out the bifocal part. I can still see for the most part without glasses.

  4. Nah man, its a simple equation....drink 3 beers, eat a lil something.....drink 3 beers, eat a lil something.....rinse and repeat. I dont plan on smashing shots and getting stupid, but a maintainable buzz is the ultimate goal for the evening :D

    Plan is the key word in that statement.

  5. Would I be allowed to come into the shop to have something done? Dont want to put either of you guys in a position to get in any trouble over this

    Yes you could, nights are super laid back. I would highly recommend a practice piece though. let me play around tonight marking 3 sides may be quite the pain in the ass. Radiuses and different lvls may really fuck things up. Hell gimmie a call and let me know what your thinking about doing.

  6. So, now that it's been a year and everyone has all but given up on this idea.....I'm curious to know if my personal weaponry, without shipment of anything but hand delivered, can be done with my consent?

    I can't see any reason as to why it couldn't since it wouldn't be altering the firearms performance in any way. What's the verdict on something like that?

    Secondly, can the laser do designs other that just lettering? Such as an insignia, custom pattern, or tribal design?

    Yes it can be done. But, I need to get off my lazy ass and play with the marker a bit. I plan on laser marking mine with a pattern and I need to see what kind of jig and fixturing need done to get that shit looking good.

    I'm sure if you press the button to do the marking it is all good. Our marker is slow so you may need to clear a couple hours.
