Firearm Engraving Services

---

Pricing for standard deep-cut required markings (maker's name, city, and state) start at $85.00 on aluminum or composite material.  This includes up to 3 lines of text which is normally sufficient for most NFA markings. For engraving on harder materials, such as steel, there is an increase in cost to recover the accelerated wear on engraving bits.

All engraving is deep cut on a manual rotary engraving pantograph machine with a depth normally between .012" and .015" deep. This depth allows the weapon to be refinished with a variety of finishes which could obliterate or conceal more shallow engraving (ATF only requires .003" deep, about the same as a sheet of notebook paper).  Lettering is normally blackened at no charge upon customer request. The preferred method of getting customers' weapons to NFA Investments for engraving is via UPS Ground service; shipped items will normally be returned in the same manner. 

Engraving on AR15 type weapons is normally performed on the ejection port side of the receiver, either above the hammer and trigger pins or on the side of the magazine well. For other types of firearms, engraving will be performed in a place determined by NFA Investments. While you are welcome to indicate your preferred engraving location, no guarantee can be made as to whether or not it can be engraved in the location you indicate due to the geometry of irregular shaped objects in machines designed to hold round or rectangular shaped objects. Lettering is blackened in unless otherwise requested. Some AR15 Billet lowers can be engraved on the bottom of the trigger guard. 

DUE TO PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS OF THE ENGRAVING EQUIPMENT, RECEIVERS CANNOT BE ENGRAVED INSIDE THE TRIGGER GUARD

Appointments can be scheduled on most weekday evenings to have these items engraved WHILE YOU WAIT. Service is also available via UPS with a 1 or 2 day turnaround time; return shipping charges for most engraved items are in addition to the cost of engraving. NFA Investments strives to have the best quality engraving service with the quickest turnaround time in the industry. NFA Investments has previously offered this service for over 20 years when licenses as a Firearms Manufacturer.
