Why not use a local engraver?

Not that a local engraver couldn't do a good job, but I want this done right (legally, aesthetically), so I chose a place with a good nation-wide reputation that does this kind of work regularly. I'm in no hurry so turnaround time was not a consideration.

Why Ident over Orion?

Why Ident over Orion?

While everyone seems to know about Orion, ARFCOMers actually recommended Ident more often. I would've been fine with either.

What do they charge w/shipping and engraving? I have seen their work on arfcomm and it seems to be very good, are you having anything else engraved on the lower besides the legal requirements?

 

[esrice]

What do they charge w/shipping and engraving?

$45 for SBR engraving plus $12 return shipping for a total of $57.

are you having anything else engraved on the lower besides the legal requirements?

Nope. Thought about it but decided not to this time.

SKD was having a sale on the Blue Force Gear DAP Discreet Rife Case ($25 off) so I went ahead and ordered one in tan for Project Iron Widow.

IS there a coupon code for the rifle case?

IS there a coupon code for the rifle case?

No. You just have to put it in your shopping cart to see the price. It was marked down from $129 to $117 to $92, plus $5 for shipping.

+1 for SKD, my case is already here!

I will have a full review on it once I get some time with it. First impressions are favorable, but I'm not overly impressed-- at least not $130 impressed.

I do like how low-profile it is. The design is very simple and to-the-point.

A few pictures:

I like it Evan, but I think you need a flaming pig patch on it!

Wonder if I could get a patch custom made. . . . .

 

[kevinj110]

You should get a custom patch made something like the noveske flaming pig but with it having a apple in its mouth and blowing smoke out of its nose I dunno why it would just be funny.

Just ordered the rest of the parts needed to complete the lower. It will be 100% Spikes, utilizing their enhanced LPK, which includes their BattleTrigger, KNS anti-rotation pins, billet trigger guard, ambi-safety, ST-T2 buffer, and Ergo grip (which I'm swapping for a MOE).

Stock will be a Magpul CTR with enhanced buttpad, using Spike's milspec buffer components.

I also threw in a BCM Gunfighter charging handle, a few black ladder rails, and some PMAG Ranger Plates.

This order just came in today too! What a great SBR day!

Have you thought about getting an engraved dust cover with "Iron Widow" on it?



Awesome build, I can't wait to see it together!

Because it would be awsome!

I'm all about custom touches. I was going to get something engraved on the magwell, like "Iron Widow" or something unique to me. But if I ever got another upper it wouldn't make any sense.

I like the dustcover idea. It would be fairly inexpensive to have done also.

I wonder if I could get the inside of my billet trigger guard laser engraved . . . hmm...

Keep the ideas coming guys.
