Any recommendation for Laser Engraver in Portland for SBR name + city? Just got my first Form 1 approval, it got approved in 18 days

Thanks in advance

What 18 days unheard of! Do you have a really wierd lastname?

I think most of us in the area for many years have used Bye Engraving. Pretty cool guy and he won't freak out when you walk in with a firearm.

Electronic applications have only been taking a few weeks for the last year or so. Only works for a form 1 (making) though, not form 4 (buying).

haha, normal man, I am surprised as well. Also got a Form 4 in the works, hopefully wouldn't take 8-10 months.

Had mine done at Bye years ago and they are great. Now I have a shop near me with an state of the art laser engraver that can put your info in the trigger guard on either side of the trigger opening. Great guys to work with and fair pricing.

You can try a trophy shop but they can have problems getting deep enough depending on the hardness of the metal. Another option might be to etch. There are many AK vendors that sell stencils for arsenal marks, numbers, letters, etc.

Does anyone have recommendations for engraving in the Vancouver / North Clark County area?

It's my understanding that you can only etch on unfinished receivers / tubes? Is this correct or can I etch on a prefinished (say hard anodized or Cerakote) object?

Probably just on unfinished metal but I have no idea honestly. Most of the etching I have seen has been on AK receivers and those are unfinished.

Makes you wonder why the form 4s take forever compared to the form ones. They could do a background check in 30 minutes, for it should not take a year for form 4s or weeks for the form ones.

@Reno uses a place in Newberg. The name escapes me at the moment though.

Cascade laser engraving. Ask for Tara.

My bro and I had our lowers (2 of mine, 1 of his) at Coat of Arms. Their hours worked out better for us, as they were open on Sunday.

All our lowers were Aero with integral trigger guards, so it was suggested to put the engraving on the bottom of the trigger guard. So we did, nice and clean!
