I think that place is called Herman's.

Since it wasn't an AR and didn't have to worry about anodizing I rolled the dice. I am quite pleased with the result (it is sharper then appears in the picture). The only 'down-side' is he is not a gun guy if that matters to you, I asked if he ever engraved AR's and he wasn't sure what the models are! He said he does a fair amount for a local LE agency and showed me a 10.5" AR barrel he was going to engrave, and after some explanation he said he does the receivers all the time too. If I need an AR (or anything else) engraved I'll take it there.

Very nice job!
