There's no telling what kind of rifle I'd get back if I sent it to him!

That's the fun part. At least for me!

I just wanted to let you guys know that thanks to this thread and others like it, I now need a CAN for my 10/22 and have started planning an SBR....

I hate you all in a good way!

LOL, mine may be in a good way but, if my wife ever finds out what the project looks like it's gonna cost, she may hate y'all in a bad way..... but, it's cool I'll save you guys from her

I think you should start an SBR Build-in-Progress Part II, Now that you have a better idea of what you want to do and parts comeing in. This thread is getting a bit hard to sift through......
Oh yeah and it seems these days when you post a new thread, I feel like

Thanks!! I have some shopping to do.

Small update:

Lower was mailed to Ident in Texas for engraving on 2/24. It arrived down there on 2/28. On 3/9 they shipped it back. Today, 3/14, UPS attempted to deliver it but I wasn't home.

So I guess you'll have to wait until tomorrow for pictures.

 

[lovemachine]

Attempted deliver? I'm assuming it's an Adult Signature required delivery then?

I'm here at home waiting!! The note from yesterday said between 10:30am and 2pm. We shall see!

[esrice]

Its here!

I am VERY pleased with the work. I sent along a 1-page sheet of instructions on where to engrave, what font, and my name and city, along with alternative locations. They were able to use my first pick of location.

I picked underneath the trigger guard because I wanted to be as low-profile as possible. I did NOT want my info to be a distraction or eyesore to the overall look of my SBR.

Ident engraved it plenty deep, filled in the raw areas nicely, and did not damage any part of the lower.

Pics!

Hey look! They engraved my sceen name!

So next step will be assembling the lower. Once that looks good I'll get the Form 1 (and the waiting ) started.

 

[jd4320t]

That's exactly where I'll have mine engraved!
