Is there anywhere local to Charleston / North Charleston that does steel engraving? I don't want to use a trophy or jewelry shop because all their work appears to be shallow and light. I was thinking about cold-calling CNC shops and asking them if they could do it for me but figured I'd ask the group here first.

I have an SBR returning from having the barrel cut down and didn't want to pay $75 for engraving my name and city since I assume I can find someone cheaper locally.

Thanks in advance.

I'd think that a machine shop would charge at least $75 for set up and programming time on CNC equipment.

You might consider contacting Innovative Arms, they use someone in the mid state area for their needs and the work looks good.

The good thing about that is that I have four guns that require the exact same four words engraved. ($75 x 4) + (shipping x 4) > CNC

I havent found anybody in charleston that can go deep enough. I use orion arms. They have done all of my customers right. Basic name and city/state is $35 + 15 return shipping. Since you have 4 they may be able to up it to about $30-$40 for shipping on all of them back. They do awesome work.
