Hey all, I've been looking into getting some engraving done on several builds in progress and I was wondering if anyone had any specific recommendations? Any help would be appreciated.

Any talented CNC machinist should be able to engrave almost anything on your firearm.

Indeed, a CNC machine, coupled with a talented CAD/CAM designer can typically deliver a nice, tidy, precision pattern, however IMHO, there is something a talented artisan with a set of gravers and mallets can do something with their muse no machine can replicate... Think level 2 or 3 engraving, not just scrolling a name or slogan on the side of a slide... ;)

Deacon you may want to check out the link below. This is truly a old world type of engraver. I have seen some of his work and it is great. I am in the process of having a pair of handcuffs engraved with him after seeing a Ranger with engraved cuffs. I am also in the process of getting another engravers info. Their is also a old world engraver in San Antonio, not sure of his name but his work is nice also.

Those of us in the smallest county in Texas have to stick together Deacon. Once I get information on the other two I will post it here.
