    Hi Team...

    A friend and I are thinking of some ways to have a logo put on our AR rifles.

    One of the questions posed by another shooter is...will some of the acid etching kits you can buy at Hobby Lobby work? It's the kind that they use to stencil on glass and other materials.

    Does anyone know if this can be done?

    Not sure about the Hobby Lobby stuff, but I do a lot of etching with ferric chloride using the toner transfer method. To get a good etch, you'd have to be down to bare metal, but it would definitely be doable.
