So I have the opportunity to get my Windham MPC laser etched...the entire gun if I want to. All surfaces can be etched. I can't get into who or what is doing the work until, or if, I get the ok.
I'm looking for some ideas for a design. What kind of designs, graphics, or pics would you have etched into your AR?

Awesome.

I''d have to take the 'restricted' statement on my 6920 and put it inside a circle with a line running through it.

Ummmmm, nothing. Maybe it's just me but I hate gawdy pictures and shit all over my guns. If I could my lowers would have no rollmarks and I prefer to build my own uppers so they don't have company logos all over them. I don't own it to look at nor is it a billboard, but to each their own.

You should get the BCM, PSA, Spikes Tactical, and Daniel Defense logo all done one right on top of the next.

Get a huge DHS on the side, make the selector switch say women - men - children for safe - semi - auto.

How about some simple ballistics information, out to 500 or so, for a few common loads. Could be useful.

Except that trust engraving needs to be deep engraved, not laser.

Part of the Declaration of Independence, specifically; "That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."

That's a bunch of good ideas

Thanks for the help and keep them coming. I'll be sitting down with my buddy next week to discuss ideas and a layout.

The right laser can go more than deep enough for any required firearms engraving. Check out Gray Laser Engraving. They have a 07 manufacturer FFL, and they do great work.

FYI, the depth required is 0.003"; my Gray Laser engraved SBR markings are WAY deeper than that.

Show some class. A miniature re-creation of the Bayeaux Tapestry, but you're gonna need a looong rail and a fixed stock.

Mechanical, not laser - a few of these are out in the world:

I used to work as the engraver for a small manufacturer a few years ago.

Here's a whole slew of custom anodized laser engraved paintball guns done by a very talented (but no longer in business) company. It might give you some ideas:
