How do you guys mark the caliber identification on new or old barrels?
I have asked a similar question on another machinist board. Several ways are pantograph, chemical etching, stamping and resist paper for sandblasting. I have talked to chemical itching companies and they said their products would etch to .003 depth.
Is this deep enough?
I'm not interested in personalizing or anything to do with receivers but might want to mark blued barrels that have been rechambered to another caliber - example .243 to 6x284
I have stamped ID on barrels with a stamping jig but it just doesn't look professional to me.
Have been searching for a pantograph but have not found one for what I call a reasonable price.
Thanks.
