Below are marking pre-serial number stamping which goes behind "No." There is also a two letter code with initials which goes behind "US insp" Let me know if you need more details, I have a real steel 1919A4 sitting in my closet plus full ACAD plans Other options are available: browningmgs.com/Engraving/C&R.htmFull size template of below: browningmgs.com/Engraving/C&R_image.jpg  |

Looks great! Those airsharp plans are really a life saver: easy to follow, step by step instructions. Where did you get the PVC sheet? How did you cut them to shape?

Tripod? planning to build but out of aluminum not PVC
PVC? got it locally from where im, used to cut them w/ a cutting knife for straight cut and coping saw for curves and bore bit for bigger holes.
Paper plans? they sent jpg image file w/c is ready to print using letter size paper then interconnect the papers to form the larger piece.
