ok.  i got a short update for you (if anyone cares)  :)


this is what they emailed me this morning:
You going to lose the detail in the crossed firearms that are in the center of the logo. At best they would just be outlines, they are going to be so small that I don't know that they will be outlines maybe more of a stick figure. The barrel of the shotgun going to be something like .010 wide. A human hair is .0035. The text will be fine, I'm just worried we won't be able to get the level of detail you are looking for out of this logo. We will work with you until you get what you want, so throw some more Ideas at me.


i sent him another logo without the firearms and just text and the state.  we'll see if that one is ok.  i also asked about the price.  instead of having the state be all engraved, i might just have it be outlined.  stay tuned......

ok, i got another email from Ident Marking.... the final price for the NFOA and my trust info is $115.  i know its a little high, but i'm gonna do it anyways.  i think it'll be cool and unique.  so i think ill send it to them this week or next.  i will attach a picture to this thread later.  it looks real nice to me, even nicer when its on my SBR.

Hey Robert, Bring it on over, I have a little Harbor Freight pencil engraver, I'd do it up for ya for less than that!   Upstanding member discount, minus shipping, umm...  $114.75 , $75 and you can rent the engraver and freehand it yourself   :laugh:  ;D :P :laugh: ;D :P :laugh: ;D :P

That looks cool.

I asked Larry Correia once if he would consider making a run of lowers with the Monster Hunter International logo on the magwell.  He said he wasn't interested in doing it but if anyone wanted to make their own he was cool with it.  I've thought about doing it some day....

well i spoke too soon.  i got my lower today.  it looks awesome, but i'll prolly won't do it again just cuz of the cost and time and hassle shipping it.  i distorted the name on the lower and the pics don't do it justice.


here are some pics:

Looks good Robert!  Have you thought about laying some red or white paint in the engraving to make it stand out?

That does look sharp.  I agree with Dave, some color fill would really look good.
