kennya Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I have about 8 tubes for my blaster. I would like to get them numbered and possibly personalized so that I can tell one from the other. In the case that I do have a problem with one of them I can pull it from the bunch. Does anyone know someone who will etch magazines?

Not as sexy as what Bob does at Brazos but it works for keeping them straight. I number the bottoms of the base pads, Dawsons, so it's easy to sort them in my bag.

hitman Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Tripp, Brazos, Dawson, EGW, ECT. or do it yourself with an engraver or paint marker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket35 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) Not sure if you are still up for the idea of having someone else doing it for ya. But I do know that Mark Miller at Mach2 Tactical does some work in this area. Contact him with your ideas and I am sure he would set you up with what you need.

kmca Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Or you can find a local jeweler or trophy engraver that will put what you want on them. Shop around because the prices very greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffl Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I have an electro etching machine but it will only work on plain steel and not very effective on painted metal. I have never tried it on blued or black oxide finishes. However I do have a gentleman that laser engraves and he can do it. Even put your special logo etc on it. I can ask him what the cost might be. I use a paint marker to mark my mags. I seems to work fine since I put the mark on the base pad any way. I also mark the number on the side. they can be purchased from the internet from McMaster-Carr as well as Grainger (I think). They are made by Dykem.

OpnBlstr Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 We use an electroetcher. We just print from the computer to a transparency, expose the engraving film, and zap our metal parts. Once you have a film made, it lasts practically forever. I have one film in a long strip with numbers one through six for doing mags. Each mag takes about one minute to etch and clean up. The electroetcher can either just erode metal away or erode then make it dark black. Works on carbon and stainless steels as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
