Engraving a PLASTIC CZ SBR (short barreled rifle) for ATF specs

[DocsEngraving]

Has anyone received a request for engraving a plastic/composite/resin gun? I've already told the client I don't know if it's possible... or how clean or crummy the engraving is likely to look. Anyone have experience here? The item is a CZ SBR.

Hi JJ -- good advice. I had already talked with the client about just that. He plans to take it apart and that's my back-up plan... just curious to know the experience of others. Guessing someone has attempted this.

Somewhere on the forum is a photo of a handgun with a plastic frame that was engraved. Try a google image search for something similar.

I recently engraved NFA information on a plastic SIG firearm. Go very slow and try to guide the tool with minimum pressure. It is like driving down a wet red clay road but can be done. Try to find an obscure place to place the engraving.

Thanks!! I figured I couldn’t be the only guy approached for this.
