Labeling a gun barrel

[MT-JONAS]

I wonder if he meant to say "syncs" (synchronizes) with log book.

Someone told me a metallic silver Sharpy

Why not?

A lady I work with has a "printer" that makes stencils or stickers from adhesive stuff that's like a bumper sticker. I giver her the specs and she gives me the stencil to stick to my barrel - I then spray it with a nice contrasting Cerkote color and blast it with the wife's hair dryer. My hair abandoned me years ago

The results are pretty nice and it's very inexpensive.

This is for serial numbers and manufacturer's marking requirements. This also the requirement when we do form 1 stuff. This does not apply to barrel caliber marking.

Mind sharing any pictures of your work?

Here is the caliber marking for a .275 Rigby I'm building and an ax I just did for another customer.

I didn't think etching reached the required depth to be considered a legal marking

I've never seen spec's for how deep lettering has to be on a rifle barrel.

Can you send some pictures? I'd really like to see this as an easier method to identify mine.

That's interesting. I'm not worried about atf showing up and checking the depth with a feeler gage though.

I live a simple life and do not like to complicate things unnecessarily.

To the best of my knowledge there are none. I'll usually burn it about .002 to .003 deep. That way if they are going to Cerakote it , it doesn't disappear. I can actually undercut the edges a bit and give it a rough bottom if they want an engraver to hammer some gold into it. I can go really deep if someone wants. Just takes more passes.
