I'm building an AR based off a custom lower from York Arms. http://yorkarms.com/receiver.html
Since these are custom made, I have virtually unlimited options for engraving. Besides a custom serial number, I can have the magwell, caliber, and selector switch settings engraved any way I like. Since I intend to keep it the rest of my life, I am not worried about too personal or unusual for resale. I just can't decide on what I want.
One thought is to go with a Mopar theme. I've used the nick online for 30yrs. Maybe one of the various mopar logos used over the years (like the one as my avatar) engraved on the magwell. Selector switch could be PARK/DRIVE or something. Caliber could be listed as .426hemi or 5.7hemi and serial could be something like M0PAR (Gotta check and see what the rules for serial numbers are, but I think that flies). I've also been a fan of Larry Correia's Munster Hunter books, and a MHI themed rifle wouldn't suck either. York has already done one (pic here: http://www.yorkarms.com/images/d_1337.jpg ). I'd use that logo on the magwell and come up with something diff for the other options. Whatever theme I go with would probably extend to the upper and stock. I'm still undecided, so I'm open to other suggestions.
