    OP this would work:

    Just to note...the city, state you engrave is the physical location where you, as a maker, made the firearm. No requirement for it to match your form, drivers license, etc. That's different than with a manufacturer, where they must engrave the location where they do business. Granted, in most cases people make them at home...just pointing out it's not a requirement.
    Are you planning to engrave a removable trigger guard? I wouldn't do that.

    Op, Indent will take care of you. They did great work and engraved under the integral trigger guard for me.

In fact, we demo a lot of the stuff by shooting at it, like expired/leaking dynamite, old TNT bricks, damaged aerial display shells, so he enjoyed the shooting. In casual conversation, I was kind of amazed at a) how little knowledge and b) how little interest he had in NFA in general and c) how little interest in my SBR (privately owned) in particular.

    Now, here in Minnesota, registration of SBRs with NFA is not part of the legislation...as far as the state is concerned, they don't have to be stamped (some states reqruie this). So even local cops, who are likely to be even MORE ignorant of NFA, have no interest in SBRs, and even if they could recognize it as such or knew what an SBR was, would be highly unlikely to inspect, or even give a crap, since there is no applicable state law. For them to address my SBR legality would require them to try to be enforcing Federal law. Rare to see a cop that has any interest in that for something that has so little impact. I suspect that that might be different it it was a rocket launcher or machine gun.

    Bottom line, from a practical standpoint, it's highly unlikely that anyone ever will be inspecting your SBR for NFA compliance.
    As far as local LE go I have heard engraving along with the stamp go a long way in persuading them of your items legality.

    I think usmcvet was saying it was a bad idea to do the engraving actually ON a removable trigger guard, as it can be removed. Under the trigger guard, as pictured above, is perfectly fine.

    Integral. That's the word I went blank on trying to type. I had billet in my head, but couldn't come up with integral...which is why I went with "one-piece".

    Ok, I thought his question was saying it was bad to do it under the trigger housing/guard.

    No problem under the trigger guard on the reciver. I don't believe engaving the two dollar, removable trigger guard, would meet the requirements.
