Steve Butters Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 It is permanent. The laser basically engraves it into the metal.soo...i have an originally HE finished black barrel (the HE is kind of like the glock finish, the black)....i had it redone in hard chromeif you did this, would it go through the hard chrome and expose the letters in black? just etch into the chrome? or go through both finishes to whatever is under the original black finish? ideally it would cut through the chrome and expose the original black for the lettering lolthe chrome is super thin - i didnt lose my original roll marks or the engraving done from factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lighter colored surface is just easier to see. Using the paint on mine was not planned. It was just hard to easily see with that small of lettering on a black background. The paint was just a simple solution. Sure i may have to reapply after cleaning but thats no big deal. It only takes like 20 seconds to do.

20thGix Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) So if there is some interest getting this done i will make that fixture today. Now this may be a dumb question but would i be safe to assume that bore sizes are = to cal. 9mm = .3543, .40 cal =.400" and .45 cal. = .450"? Basically need to know the minor dia. of the bore. Major dia. being the bore plus rifling. I only own a 9mm so i cant check the others myself. I am wanting to make the barrel a slip fit for locating purposes.

flounder Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Just an fyi. Unless you are going to have the owners onsite, I suggest you read up on BATFE regs! Depending on what you are engraving, and how you are receiving items in case someone wants to send something to you could get yourself in some trouble.

Depending on what you are engraving, and how you are receiving items in case someone wants to send something to you could get yourself in some trouble.Without looking up the laws i would assume that someone wouldnt mail/deliver me the whole firearm to have one piece done. I may me wrong but i would think that a specific part through the mail would be fine. If thats what your referring to. Also i cannot bring firearms into the my work so it would have to be torn down. Being im no expert gunsmth im not going to take down someone else gun anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Barrel is not the firearm so he should be ok right?I need to engrave my first and last name on one side of the top of the trigger housing and city, state on the other side.
