Who do you all use for engraving services in the St Louis area?  I've used arch engraving in Fenton multiple times in the past, good work but last time it was over a week turnaround and $50 I think.  I've got a few lowers lined up so looking at cheaper/faster options.

I've used 4Bush Weapons Refinishing (https://www.4bushwrs.com), they're down in Arnold right off of I55.

At the time (2021) they charged $50 for basic NFA engraving and did it while I waited (by appointment).

Was very happy with the work they did and will absolutely use them again in the future.

So, faster...but not cheaper. Maybe if you're doing multiple lowers they might give a quantity discount? Never hurts to ask.

IF you are registering an SBR during the 120 day Tax Exempt window remember engraving is not required.

Any other NFA firearms being made on a Tax paid basis still require engraving.

Yep, good call out.  Unfortunately I need these for non-brace related SBR's with the paid stamp.
