| So I want to build a m16a1 clone with rollmarks and everything. Question is with the new laws what would I have to add, because I already plan for it having a serial number, but do i have to add my name/ and or location... If I do, where could I put it so it will not distract or feel out of place from the m16 engravings |

In order to stay legal with the new laws your engravings will have to match the ATF marking requirements for manufacturers.....Name, City, State, and serial number.
I just put my name and location info in the same place that Colt puts them (I came up with a marking that has my name in it, but, still looks like the Colt markings) I'm worried that the guys in CA that marked their 80% lowers with the original "Colt's Patent Firearms, Hartford Conn" engravings may to run into problems. I also don't think double marking them would be good idea (Colt's info on the side, your info hidden somewhere else). Here's what I did with mine.... 
Just make sure to do it before the deadline. After that, you will have to apply for permission, go through a background check and have a serial number assigned to you by the CA DOJ. Also, try asking around in the Hometown/California forum. |

Details on the fake pin on the top lower please. Looks great! Is it just engraved like the bottom lower and colored in darker for contrast or is it the ends of pins pressed into the lower? Thanks Quoted:

Thanks I had Braceman engrave the fake sear pin, then after coating the receiver in Norrell's, I colored the "sear pin" in with a darker paint. I used a little bit of enamel model paint and just added a drop to the center of sear pin outline with a toothpick. Since the paint is pretty thick, the dot is actually a little bit proud of receiver, so it looks like a real pin. Quoted:
Hi - I'm seeking braceman contact info, also for engraving for my 607 build. I hear he can do reprofiling of A2 lowers to A1 profile. I need his help since Nodak won't have any partial fence lowers oil sometime in 2017 (per Harlan).  I sent you Braceman's contact info via IM |
