Molon Labe in Peoria at ~83rd Ave and Bell Rd. Laser engraver, very precise. A friend had his AR lower engraved on the inside of trigger guard, above and below the opening where the trigger comes through the lower (depends on how long your name/location is).
I've also used Quentin Defense in Gilbert. They use a CNC mechanical engraver. They are setup to engrave right next to the safe/fire selector.
You can get creative with where you engrave your information; hopefully you have a short name or trust name. Example, my trust name is just my initials, "ABC Trust, Mesa, AZ".
I've seen engravings on the inside of the magazine well, inside the trigger guard, on top of the magazine well (between the upper and lower fitment), single line above the safe/fire selector, on the front of the magazine well below the front take down pin, etc. Wherever it will fit.

Always put mine along the side of the left side of lower receiver near where it meets the upper (kind of above selector markings, but centered in that space). Used to go to Molon Labe in Peoria, but have heard they shut down.
Unfortunately they did close down.Viper 1-26 INF said:
I marked mine on the front of the magwell then filled in with Alumablack to make it so it was not noticeable. Marking was legal but you would never know it was there.
s there another shop as good on the West side?
The best place to mark a SBR-AR lower is in the inside top of the trigger well, on both sides of the trigger. The benefit is that it is pretty obscure and if you ever decide to sell the lower as a non NFA item, it become pretty easy with out all the markings visible.ARzona said:

We all know how nearly impossible it is to turn a gun upside down.
As far as I can remember, it has to be easily seen without disassembly. You used to be able to engrave the grip tang (so the grip covered it), but they changed that rule years ago.
If for some reason you get pulled over and the cops that pull you over don't really know all the rules and regulations on NFA items, you might be sitting there for a while. For what ever item you carry it's always a good thing to have the regs laminated on a ring for those who want to question.
Any time my NFA stuff goes out, so do copies of the docs. Not THE docs, mind you. Too hard to replace if lost or destroyed.
All a cop wants to see (if they are all that nosey) is that the S/N matches the doc.
