Thoughts on NFA Trust name?

[awp_101]

Too late to change to "In John We Trust"?

It's a lot easier to engrave 'XYZ Trust' than 'The John Jay Finkelheimer and Extended Family Trust, Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States of America, Trust'.

I went the LLC route and just used my 4 letter initials as the name. It keeps it simple and less prone to error with engraving. It's also short which is great with placement on the receiver. Thank God I don't live in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch. That would be self-defeating.

My local FFL/SOT does it.

AR receivers, I had the local trophy shop do it while I waited, they were cool about it, but this is AL of course. They had the equipment to get the required depth in that case.

I use a guy in Epping who SIG suggested for laser engraving. He does it while you wait, and it’s very nice work.

I Duck Duck Go’d “NFA engraving [my city]” and came up with two places, and a third referred my a local gun shop.

What is the most common / preferred location for the “maker” information to be engraved?

I was originally thinking the right side of the magwell (exterior, of course), as they are blank on all the receivers I’m going to Form 1.

But now I’m eyeing the top of the receiver above the trigger area on the right side of the receiver. So, same location, but opposite side as the “manufacturer” information.

What have others done?

I like the ones I've seen with the trust info/MFR markings on the front of the magwell, or inside the trigger guard area just in front of the trigger slot. The latter can be a bit tricky depending on the equipment used.
