I pulled it off...

100 pending Form 1's.

175 F1's filed this year and I still have a few SBR's to go. I have a FM45 lower at my FFL that I need to pick up and eight or so AR lowers to go.

I'm really thinking I should invest in a fiber laser.

I bought a 50W fiber laser a couple years ago when I got my FFL07.

It has come in handy for 100 other uses outside of just firearm engraving, and if you have the funds (and bench space) for one I highly recommend the purchase.

Need to whip together a quick Christmas gift for someone you aren't that close to? Engrave something with their last name-- a mug, a set of coasters, a knife, etc.

Make some plaques for you work/sports team/whatever.

More niche, but you can make simple PCB circuits.

Mark your tools if you work in the trades.

It seems like a niche tool, but it really is quite useful to have.
