Sharp as a Marble

Anvil Arms is a local company to me and they do a pretty kick butt job of laser engraving firearms, generally AR lowers. Check out their gallery here.

For $15 (and since I can drop it off and avoid shipping fees), I am seeeeeriously thinking about doing something to mine. I can't erase the Bushmaster .223 / 5.56 markings, but on the other side I definitely could have some fun.

I was thinking something like a warning (similar to this one) that says

CAUTION: Proper use of this product may induce PSH in certain individuals.

I'd love to hear your ideas. Heck, it might even be some sort of contest to let someone "Pimp my EBR" or something ;)

Can they do Sarah Brady's face? Cuz that would be awesome.

Or maybe a poodle with a slash through it.

Heh.

Maybe just, "This product is known cause liberal politicians to soil their knickers."

It may be a little boring, but how 'bout the good 'ol 2A etched on your lower.

Not boring at all.

How about "Dear First Amendment - You're Fucking Welcome"

That may be the best one yet. There are lots of tried'n'true phrases that would look lovely etched onto a rifle, but there's something to be said for simplicity as well. Profanity is fantastic gun decoration... until your daughter learns to shoot the rifle and quotes that phrase to her civics teacher... then you may have a problem. An amusing problem, but a problem nonetheless.

Lets see, some other options:
-"This is my rifle, there are many like it..."
-"From my cold dead hands"
-"Tyranny Prevention"
-"Orcrist" (get it? do ya?)

ummmm...

Mmmm... The Goblin Cleaver!

Of course, I'd need the writing on the ring as well ;)

There is only one thing I would engrave or paint upon my rifle...

"Vera"

Points for those who get it.

A small engraved message just above the magazine well lip that has an arrow pointed towards the muzzle with the text "pointy end this way"

You can, in later years, claim the lower was police surplus. :)

Ok Robb, how 'bout this.

Kaveman, I guffawed at that one.

I don't think it'll make it on the side of my rifle, but I'm pretty sure, given a little booze, some free time, and Photoshop, I might have to make that one up for the blog.

Uncle has one that says "for civilian use only"

I've always liked "This eeeevvil black rifle kills fascists much better that your crappy guitar"
