No horror stories but I thought it was lame to engrave, however once it was engraved I never look at that side of the receiver.
Question... if an individual is doing a SBx, does it matter if it is the full name or could it be first/middle initial and last name? Or even just last name?
I’m looking at doing my TAC-14 to AOW or SBS, so just wondering. My last name is pretty unique, so wouldn’t likely see it pop up too much.
In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

My first trust was "XXXXXX Family Special Items Trust" which was a nightmare on engraving. I underwent a radical spousectomy, and decided to expand my stamp collection. As a result I had Sean Cody redo my trust and he basically told me over the phone "Holy shit that's a long name. We aren't gonna do that bullshit again. Your trust name is "XXX Trust" using my initials. Much better.
As an aside, I have an appointment with Ident tomorrow afternoon. I'll be taking an MP5K clone in for work, so if there are any problems I'll update.

Excellent service at Ident. Took 30 minutes and put engraving in a very inconspicuous location that you have to look for. Great staff, very knowledgeable.

Underside of the barrel and be done with it.
"Oh, I will have to do every short barrel that I own!" Bullshit! People make like they are going to be constantly swapping short barrels, except for the .22 conversion kit barrels. Then engrave that one too!
"Oh, I will never sell it anyway." Says the handful of guys in my state who did F1 SBR's on preban classified lowers and couldn't give them away afterwards when they changed their minds.

Ive had SBR lowers for almost a decade. In that time they’ve each had 4 to 6 uppers. Engraving the barrel is retarded on a platform as modular as the AR15.
Also, selling a F1 SBR lower is no different than selling any other lower as long as:
A) There isn’t a <16” barreled upper on it
That’s it. You can also contact the ATF to let them know to remove it from the registry if it makes you feel any better.
If you filed as an individual or gave your trust a very unique name specific to you which is engraved on that lower it may affect the value but you’re already dumb for doing so in the first place.
