Engraving a shotgun receiver?
Posted on 12/14/13 at 11:27 pm

I've got a new model A5 that I want to get the reciever and barrel cerakoted and the stocks dipped. Problem is is that the A5 emblem and Browning on the side of the reciever appears to be just graphics. Is it possible to have that engraved into the reciever before I have it cerakoted? Also would the engraver have to be a FFL or could any engraver do it since its part of a firearm? Thanks for any info fellas

Pretty sure if you kote it they'll etch it back in for you- if not, I'm sure they can/will. Sitting in the same boat, about to dip an old Jap mag... tired of babying the bluing

FFL not required for engraving.

What's the receiver made of? If it's aluminum you can't engrave it. Well, that's what I was told last week when I looked into getting my Super Sport done.

One of the most mispelled words ever

I see three options
1. Trace the engraving yourself with a dremel tool and engraving attachments
2. Find a smith who does custom work, such smith will likely have an FFL because he will likely do more than just engraving.
3. Call the factory's and see if they have a special division that does custom work and have them do it.
All three of these options are likely to cost you a pretty penny. Engraving is an art. Takes a steady hand, the right equipment, time and patience. Be prepared to open your wallet.
