EoTechs (552 or 553, can someone clear that up?) are also another option if you don't want to use an Elcan.

If you plan on engraving trademarks:

*LEAF ICON HERE*
CANADIAN
FORCES
CANADIENNES
C7A2
5.56 mm
XXAA#####

Replace C7A2 with C7, C7A1, C7A2, C8, C8A1, C8A2, C8FTHB, C8FTHBA3 or C8A3 depending on what you're trying to Replicate. The C8FTHBA3 was I believe a bunch of FTHB receivers used for the first batch of C8A3s, but I could be wrong. Updated receivers (For example, a C7 that was rebuilt into the C7A2) will have the new designation engraved into the body next to the original and thus the designation will look "Off Centre"

XX represents the last two digits of year of manufacture, AA is the weapon code, and the # represents a 5 digit ID. I don't remember weapon codes off the top of my head. 88AA01234 would denote a lower receiver made in 1988, AA denotes an original C7 lower receiver, and 01234 is unique to that receiver.

Again, I could be wrong and I probably have made a mistake, but I'm sure someone can clarify.

PS: The TRIAD is a piece of [Bleep]
