| Guys, I just received my NDS XM16E1 lower receiver and want to have it engraved by Ident Marking. I have seen photos of their work from this site. My question is those that had theirs done: Did you send them a photo of how you wanted the lower done? How did you send the lower to them so they knew excactly how you wanted it to look? I want this lower to look as close as I can to the one my father carried in Vietnam. Thanks guys. |

I gave them more detail than they needed.
They know where to put "auto" and the false sear pin. They know what you mean by Colt logo. Just tell them what you want specific to the model you are making. This is what i told them for my 601: 3. On the Left Mag well above the MOD NDS - 601 engrave the Colt pony circle and to the right the word “Colt”. Under the circle engrave the word “Armalite” with the leg of the “A” underlining the rest of the word. Under that put the words “patents pending” I also included a picture. |

My first lower I sent was for my IDF build.
I sent detailed instructions and printed pictures of what I wanted, and also pictures on DVD. I also included .JPGs of the Star of David outline. My second lower was my 608 SBR. I just told them what I wanted in a letter. I'm pleased with both results.

They did a great Job. Where did you have it refinished after or did Ident do that too?
I'm pleased with both results. http://www.pullig.com/pics/weapons/Mekutz_rar_stripped.jpg http://www.pullig.com/pics/weapons/Mekutz_rar_stripped2.jpg http://www.pullig.com/pics/weapons/Mekutz_rar_stripped3.jpg http://www.pullig.com/pics/weapons/SBR_engraving_608.jpg |

It was engraved August of 2009.
The IDF was already anodized black. After Ident Marking engraved it they filled it and it matches just fine. The 608 SBR was already anodized XM Grey. Again after engraving Ident Marking filled and it matches fine. Feel free to have anodized lowers engraved by Ident Marking. |

Tex, this must be a older engrave. I just received one and they did not put the R above the circle with pony inside. I think it has to be a copy wright issue. Yup me too - and I had a big conversation with Gordon about this - eventually I decided he wasn't going to do it so I gave up and just let him do the engraving without the circle-R. I really wish I could have had the circle-R - it bugs me that I don't have it, so I'm going to look into finding/making a steel stamp that I can use to mark it myself. -Thirtycal |
