    Anyone have recommendations on who to use to engrave a part. I need my EFR engraved and want someone to do a good job. I know most people say use someone locally but I want someone somebody has experience with and did a great job.
     
    Just for my own curiosity what is referred to with "EFR" and why would it be engraved? I may be offering options that are entirely in the wrong direction.
     
    This part on the XM3 it’s for the night vision

    That's incredibly beautiful hand engraving. He's a true master. I've had work done by Ken Hurst...also a master engraver but he's sadly passed. This is some work he did for me on a Win SX-1. All by hand...hammer and chisel....no auto-graver for Ken.

    I miss him...he was a very nice guy who engraved beautifully but had zero idea how to take care of himself or run a business.

    Would be just a matter of finding the right font. This is as close as I have on my default lightburn but this took 5 minutes and a deep engraving like pictured above would be a very quick job for any trophy or laser engraving shop.
