Hi there, I just finished a barrel for one of my guns.
I have stamps but it is just ugly. Is there anyone in Alberta
that can engrave caliber marking on barrels?
Thanks
 
If you get a DREMEL engraver from Cambodian Tire and give just a LITTLE practice on a piece of scrap you may be able to do it yourself. I've seen HAND scribed info on the side of a barrel and I think it looks quite good. Some people are "artsy" and can do a great job.
 
I do a variety of custom hand engraving including caliber markings. I live in Drumheller in case you are anywhere close to that.
 
If the barrel is not on the receiver yet you could take it into any number of trophy and plaque stores and they could do it for you. They might get a bit iffy if the whole gun is together though.
 
Get the cartridge designation done rather than the caliber... and your initials since you did the install.

HOW DARE YOU ADVOCATE FOR MORE GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT! GET OFF CGN!

lol

For someone making a business of it, I agree that you should have to mark your barrels. If your job is building rifles for other people then it makes sense to me. If you're just doing it yourself in your garage/hobby shop though? I'm not as sure...

What happens down the road when that unmarked firearm finds a new home...? Possibly the new 'owner' hasn't a clue what it is.. and has to spend money to find out... it's just so much easier for everyone if the cartridge designation is there... I have seen home made wildcats with no designations that could be dangerous for most people.

Do manufacturers have to do it? Ive got more than a few firearms that dont.

Being able to determine the cartridge of a firearm is pretty basic.

What other crazy gun control ideas do you think should be law?

Personally I like engraving my address and on my guns, in case I lose it.
 
Marking the cartridge designation on a firearm is not a gun control idea... not a crazy idea either...
 
Theres lots of 6.5’s and 7mm that will measure so on the muzzle, that will chamber plenty of different cartridges.
We use Electrochemical etching, not as nice as cnc but presentable for sure.

Making it law is.

You do you, let me do me. Okay? I want every less reason possible for the government to decide they can harass, interfere, arrest, or criminally charge me for anything I do that does not affect anyone else. If you pick up a firearm that you do not know what it is chambered in, take it to a gunsmith to have that determined unless you're capable of it yourself; this was one of the lessons you should have been taught right after being shown how to prove a firearm was safely unloaded.

Get your government out of my bedroom and my gun safe. Which are mostly the same thing.


Otherwise the next gun grab will be that anything that is not clearly marked of the correct cartridge is a prohib. 95% of milsurps will be prohib over night. Half the older SxS shotguns, drillings, etc same thing. 22 that doesn't indicate it can chamber S, L, and LR? Prohib. Marked 45 LC but it will fit a 410 shot shell? Sounds like a prohib to me. 5.56 NATO or 223 Rem? Well, if it isn't clear it must be a prohib!

F off. You give them a legal inch and they will take a mile worth of regulation.
 
FFS! Nice thing about the internet; if one want to read some absolute crap, he can always find it.
