PTW laser engraved (56K warning)

[Neuromancer]

Might not fit into the threat, but is there any other manufacturer who is selling the M4/M16A3 body without ANY markings?

did you have to take the barrel and stock off?

[SBranson23]

Very Nice!
How deep is the cut? It looks like it has "cut" the upper layer of anodizing. Did it go all the way through to the Aluminum and if so how did you colour it.
I'd like to get mine done but would like to get a deeper cut more like a stamp.
Maybe this method won't work for me?

@Endymion: Thank you very much. I'll check my Guarder dealer for it. They even have a C8 body..very interesting

Branson, it's not engraving, it's laser etching.

You can't get deep cuts like you'd like too.

lol That's exactly what I thought when I read the posts above about getting the markings on the selector switch. Since day 1 with my crappy DE AK47, I've always referred to the full-auto settings as the "Fuck yeah!" setting.

I will be getting that put on in the near future, I just wanted to get something more custom than the usual SEMI...AUTO...

Qlong,
It cost me $50 each because I needed to make some adjustments on the spot, but if the art work is straight forward, then i'd be probably less. I suggest you email them the design and see what it would cost.

TANK,
I brought in the lower receiver with the stock retracted. It fit perfectly in the laser machine. If you had a full stock, then i'd have to be removed.

Swatt13,
Vector format can be done with illustrator. You can also bring in the logo and get them to put it into vector format for you, but that would probably be an extra cost. If you wanted the bushmater logo, justa ask them cuz they have mine. Just change the serial number. ;D

Sbranson23,
The cut can be as deep as you like. The outcome will vary depending on the material. The PTW's are black metal through, so that is why it turn-out like that. If it was a CA then you'd get a metalic finish under.

NOTE: Guys, if you need a more elaborate design, then I suggest you call and make an appointment before heading down so that they can take care of you guys.

Does anyone have a colt logo in vector format?

I know a guy who does this service specifically for Law Enforcemet, guys who order Tazers and SIM guns. Normally he puts the name of the agency and thier logo but I got him to do these ones up for me.

That's awesome! thx. what i want to do is find a way to make the reccesed type engraveing, I think the real steel lower (and even some AS) recievers are stamped. but if you guys find a way to do that please let me know.

I like the laser engraved one but when you decide to paint your recievers you will loose the designs.

[Shooting Chef]

Actually they can change the intensity of the laser for a deeper engraving.
