Anyone here know if it's feasible to have anything engraved on the inside of an upper receiver?
I want to have something engraved behind the BCG, easily visible from the ejection port, with the bolt locked back. who would do this? ETA: I know that it will collect carbon, and get nasty. but will it interfere with reliable operation? |

As long as its not on the surfaces the bolt travels against, then debris getting stuck inside will be your only concern. |

As long as it was deburred I don't see an issue. Laser or someone with a manual style pantograph with a long bit could do it. (Don't know if you want lettering or a design..) Quoted:

Whoever you're shooting at will have to be awfully close to read "Time Out! I'm Reloading!" something much sillier....it'll go with the dust cover. if this works out there should be an amusing picture set in arfcom's future. |

I want shallow, fat lettering. A Pantograph manual engraver with a wide , long bit or a Laser should have no issues doing it. If I went LASER, I'd use someone with a YAG not CO2 as I'd worry about CO2 wearing away prematurely. If I wasn't down to one usable arm arm for the next 4 months I'd do it just for the hell of it with my Gorton Pantograph. |

I will likely call ident. etching would be ok, too, I just figure that engraving will stay legible longer if i get lazy cleaning
