I'm pretty sure my SU-231 markings were laser or acid etched and not engraved, but I suppose you could color fill the engraving white.

CLW does it with a laser, so maybe engraving is the wrong term. He refers to it as "engraving", but it comes out the same as the UID plates: white laser etched text and UID block.

I was wondering why someone would want the markings engraved as it would just be the same color as the hood (or base for 553).- bare metal

Well...I did a sopmod, I did a mk12, so naturally where else would I go but to a mk18!? It is an on progress bit, and obviously being built as a pistol...but here she is so far...rear sight is on the way and I am debating putting the aimpoint from my sopmod on here, and slapping a sig Romeo 5 on the sopmod...or I just find another aimpoint for this lol. I'll update with some fresh pics once the rear sight shows up and I decide what to do with the optic.

I think more than likely a noob got confused with the 231A marked only being sold to mil, with the 231's having the same story. Which we all know is false. They should really get a clone guy in there running things. I would volunteer myself, but I'd probably lose the job within a week for making it rain free EOTech's in the CQBR and B2 threads.

I have had two SU231 marked 553s serviced without issue.
One was for sure a Law Guns purchase too, before I knew what that meant . They noted on the return form that it had been serviced as "State LE Property" and returned.

In other news:  Attached File Attached FileAnd its not pictured, but I just got the Geissele trigger in the mail yesterday, and I have a KAC front sight in the mail.

The installation issue with the TD grips and the RIS II is that the lower rail has to be removed to get it on/off (unless you get the QD version). The KAC slides on/off no problem (as you obviously noticed). The tradeoff, at least for me, is that the TD has storage and I like the Insight tapeswitch pocket. |
