Call and see if they can email you some pictures. An hour and a half is a bit of a hike.

What are you going to be disappointed about? Haven't you seen laser engraving before?

Check with Twin City EDM in Fridley.
They do laser engraving on a commercial scale, but have done some quick jobs for me at no cost.
It all on how you approach them .... something for "Da Wifey" .....

Here you go http://www.oldwestlasergraphic.com/
I dont think Ahlmans does the engraving they send it up the road to Drifter aka Tim Ahlman, Drifter travels the entire country to larger SASS events doing laser engraveing. Never had him do anywork on my guns but wouldnt hesitate if I had anything worthy of engraveing.
I looked around Ahlmans site and couldnt find anything but didnt spend much time looking.

It is???? I think that's just getting started - not even enough time for a potty break.

From the Twin Cities, you'd drive right past the Gander Mt and Fleet Farm stores in Lakeville. Morristown is also just a hop, skip and a jump away from Cabela's in Owatonna, and another Fleet Farm. Anyone coming from north of Bloomington gets to stop at REI, as well. Come to think of it, I don't have any plans this Saturday....

An hour and a half isn't much to me, I live on the road every week, I'm used to it.

I could see where it would be an inconvenience for someone though to have a service done.

Ahlmans has a ton of guns, long guns more so than hand guns lots of new and used. They staff are all really friendly and knowledgeable too.

Ahlman's just needs a shark tank for the win...
