Marking a receiver

[Watt Tyler]

I've been playing with motorcycles over the last few years but I've recently back into building, and while the build is going ok, one thing I haven't figured out is how to mark the receiver in a professional looking way, safe semi etc, any hints and tips to share ?

A simple steel stamp is clean enough for most people. S for safe F for fire. Looks a lot more professional than X - Pew -Pew Pew Pew for safe semi full. I could also very easily get behind a bullet shaped stamp as that is understandable in any language and even understandable by the 3rd world illiterate, but it also looks clean and professional.

Stamps, acid etching, engraving, pantograph....

Thanks, stamps are probably the way to go for something used infrequently, I was just curious what others used

Does anyone make a bullet shaped stamp, it sounds like a good simple solution

There are companies that will custom make a stamp to your design. Give it a google

You might want to lurk a knife-maker's forum or two, electro-etching has become something of a "thing" in that field.

It's interesting tech.

I like this. Its a lot easier to line up one letter than 4
