Title: 80% Build question
Post by: CyberNinja808 on April 26, 2020, 10:01:15 PM
I have a noobie question here. For all you guys that do 80% builds where do you guys get it stamped so you can register it with HPD? Is there a place locally? Thanks ahead of time for all your help.

For my poly80 that I built and registered, I just did it with a dremel and engraving bit. I practiced a little on scrap metal and figured out quickly
That straight lines are much easier to do than curved lines, so all the numbers/letters I picked had straight lines i.e. 7, K, M, N, 1, 4, L etc

If you want to make your options easier, take it to be engraved BEFORE any milling work.  Perfectly legal to tote around and leave at a trophy or jewelry engraving shop.

The risk, of course, is possibly messing up the milling and wasting the cost of engraving.   :wacko:

FWIW.

I would just buy an electric engraver and do it myself.  Useful to mark a lot of other things like tools etc.  They only cost about $20.

I tried looking, but can't seem to find it.  There was another posting for suggested serial number on your 80% build.  They were really cool/funny.

That's him gotta get your work orders in soon though. I follow him on Instagram he just bought a house in the 48. Hawaii too restrictive for his business,  and the shitty politics. We lose another good one :(

Now you got me thinking for my next serial number if I ever decide to build another one. But that R would be hard with the curve. I might have to go blocky letter style like the electronic road signs on the freeway font to make the “R” work with my limited dremel skills.

If you  aren't worried about straight lines only, the options are endless.   :geekdanc:
