Question 11

Can you engrave firearms?

Accepted Answer

We are able to engrave firearm slides only. At this time, we do not hold an FFL and cannot accept full firearms or frames. We only accept bare slides—all optics, barrels, and internals must be removed prior to drop-off or shipping.

Question 12

Do you need to be an FFL to engrave firearm slides?

Accepted Answer

Not for bare slides! Since we are working with non-serialized parts and not handling complete firearms or frames, no FFL is required. That said, we take compliance seriously—please follow our submission guidelines carefully.

Question 13

What do I need to remove before sending my slide?

Accepted Answer

All internal components and accessories must be removed before we can begin work. This includes:
Optics
Sights (if possible)
Firing pins, barrels, springs, etc.
We will not disassemble or reassemble slides for liability reasons.

Question 14

Can you help me design custom artwork for my slide?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Whether you have a design in mind or need help coming up with something unique, we’ll work with you to create a custom look. Just let us know the style you're going for—tactical, ornate, minimal, bold, etc.

Question 15

What file types do you accept for slide engravings?

Accepted Answer

We recommend vector files (like SVG, AI, or EPS) for the cleanest results, but we can also work with high-resolution PNGs or JPEGs depending on the design.

Question 16

How deep is the engraving?

Accepted Answer

We can offer everything from light surface marking to deep engraving, depending on the material and desired look. Let us know if you're aiming for aesthetics only or something more aggressive and durable.
*Pricing subject to change based on depth of engraving.

Question 17

What finishes or slide materials can you engrave?

Accepted Answer

We can engrave on a wide variety of finishes including Cerakote, stainless steel, nitride, and more. Just let us know your slide material and finish ahead of time so we can dial in the settings for the best results.

Question 18

Do you offer serial number or NFA engraving?

Accepted Answer

No. At this time, we do not engrave serialized parts or offer ATF-required NFA engravings, as this would require an FFL.

Question 19

Can I ship you my slide?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can ship your bare slide to us—no full firearms, please. Be sure to package it securely and include your contact info and order details. Return shipping will be discussed when placing your order.

What’s the turnaround time for slide engraving?

Accepted Answer

Most slide engraving projects are completed within 3–5 business days once we receive your slide and confirm the design. We'll give you a firm estimate when your order is placed, prior to accepting payment.
