Also, did you actually call and talk to Dobbs? If you did, did you mention that you were a member of the ODT? If so, was the price still $75?

One thing should be noted here. Dobbs is using a hard engraver, not a laser. Cleaner lines, smaller type; MUCH better looking than laser engraving.

Yep! They use a pantograph. Turns out great. It's so nice that I had them engrave the slide of a 1911 that was given as a USMC retirement gift for a SgtMaj. Flawless.

That's what it's called! I couldn't remember. I googled "hard engraver font reducer" and nothing came up.

Gonna have to disagree with the Pantograph vs the laser ( Cleaner lines and smaller type). I've have receivers done both ways. It's all personal preference. The ones that's are laser engraved by Paul at insertmouldingsoultions are clean, deep and small, plus they not super bright shinnig aluminum when finished.You really have to look to find them. Hard engraving enables more of a factory look if the right font is chosen.

Fair enough, but I have several examples from Dobbs both before he had the pantograph and after. I much prefer the look of the hard engraving to the laser. But you are right, as with most things, it comes down to personal preference.

First time I had something engraved at Dobbs, I said to Brian, "Oh, you use a pantograph." He said no one had ever known what it was called before.

A crusty old CWO4 Gunner once told me, "You, sir, are a veritable font of worthless knowledge". Still ain't figured out if he meant it as a complement or not.

I'm hell on wheels at trivia night!

Dobbs, or consider Dobbs. Worth the drive over if you have never met Bryan. Class act.

Given my experience with WO's, I'd say it wasn't a compliment.

Also, if they ask on Trivia Night how to spell his name, go with a "y" instead of an "i."

Don't need to spell his name......I always pay with cash or a credit card.
