Sarge Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Any thoughts on who would do laser etching on my Ti comps while still on barrels? Some places don't like doing gun parts and I'm not willing to take the comps off to get it done. I'm thinking SARGE would look good on each side.

Reshoot Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I like your idea, Kevin! I should engrave my comp with Super Senior, or maybe just Reshoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hello: You could also get a place that does vinyl signs to make you a masking layer. Peel off the design you want and then bead blast it. Most engraving places can do what you may want. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I did the same with mags. Looks etched but just bead blasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 I may have lucked out. There is a local guy who landed a major gun part contract doing exactly what I want. 10 minutes down the street. Now to figure out whether to totally personalize it or do something more generic like DVC? Thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) I saw this post earlier and had flashbacks. Years ago a machinist buddy did some machining on a gun for me and while he was at it he machined my last name into the sides of the comp as a surprise. Ok, it was really nice of him (and it came out nice) and I still have that gun, but the fact is who would want it? Unless you never intend to sell it I'd do something a little more generic. A cool design, or graphic would be interesting. Maybe your Sargent's insignia or unit insignia? Edited January 5, 2016 by Bamboo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Or bead blast it and then if you sell it you can always be blast it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bockerSV Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Some text that's shaped like a locomotive would be pretty cool for an open gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 That came out looking pretty dang nice! Good Job. Was it bead blasted and color filled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 That came out looking pretty dang nice! Good Job. Was it bead blasted and color filled? Not sure exactly what the process was but he asked if I just wanted it surface laser etched or deeper. I chose deeper so I can polish it once in awhile. He said he would shoot for black? I Assume it's something he did with fine tuning the laser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
