So where did you put your engraviing for your SBRed scorpion ?

Where did you end up putting the engraving for your form 1 sbr scorpion

[pedro66]

We have been putting it in the same position as CZ USA are laser marking but on the opposite side, anywhere on the main receiver is good

Is it acceptable to engrave it into the polymer?

I always test before I engrave on metal on plastic of some sort to see if I like the look but actually most times on poly etc I will use the laser

Since the receiver is two pieces bolted together, would you have to engrave it on the half of the receiver that has the serial number?

[armoredman]

Guessing from the photo from CZ-USA, I'm thinking the right side piece is classified as the receiver. Kind of like the ride side plate on a 1919 is the receiver, although there has to be many more parts that fit together to make the box.

Actually only the serial number needs to go on the receiver


ATF 5300.4 in 27 CFR 479.102 (page 92) describes what is necessary to engrave on a SBR or SBS when one is manufacturing.

1) On the Frame or Receiver the Serial number;

2) On the frame, receiver, or barrel the following additional information;

   A)The model;

   B)The caliber or gage;

   C)Your name or name of the Trust in the case of a Trust (no abbreviations are permitted for the Trust name);

   D)The city and state (you can abbreviate the state with the official 2 digit state code)

The above mentioned information must be engraved, casted, stamped (impressing) or otherwise conspicuously placed or caused to be engraved, cast, stamped (impressed) or placed to a minimum depth of .003 inch and in a print size of the Serial number shall be no smaller than 1/16 inch.

Thanks guys for all the info

I had mine engraved right above the factory cz engraving so it blends in.

[armoredman]

Good idea. When I get around to doing mine that sounds like a good move.

"I had mine engraved right above the factory cz engraving so it blends in."

Can you post a picture?  Who did the engraving and how much did it cost you?

[subinoob]

Identmarking in Rockwall Texas did it.  I think it was $55.  I called to make sure they could do it.  They use laser engraving and it turned out pretty good I will try and get a pic tomorrow and post it up.

[subinoob]

There you go

[mikec]

Nice, thanks.

Bumping just not to have to make a new thread regarding engraving.


I've got my form 1 submitted electronically, so now the wait begins.. but I'm trying to get prepared for when/if I get approved.

Does the "clam shell" receiver disassemble to be able to fit in the engraver machines?  I plan on getting it engraved like subinoob - right above the CZ-USA markings.  I honestly haven't had much time to play with the pistol yet to check for myself.


(I've actually never SBR'd or had a gun engraved before, so it's all new to me.)
