Had to pawn the nail and the engraving tool to buy my latest AR. Now on a diet, so beer and pizza are out. Suggest looking at my previous post.....

I know one. I'll contact him and see what his status is. Most I know are old time engravers in Germany. Most you find now are air gravers. Hand engravers would probably start between $5-10,000 to start.

YI did not know you could do it with a nail and hammer so, I went to harbor freight and put one on lay-a-way.


PS: Thanks for the links, they are very talented to say the least.

I would love for it to be by hand (old school) but, this broke dude ain't got time for that!
