A source for metal stamps

bpost

I am looking for a source for metal stamps to mark cartridge information on the barrel. I would think 9 pt. would be a good size Any suggestions?

Just to name a few. Enter "steel stamps" for your search at any one of the above sights. I highly reccomend the jig (guide) to go with the stamp set.

I use McMaster-Carr often also.

bpost, how big is 9 point in inches? One of my books (Dunlap, I think)recommends about 1/16 inch, which is plenty big.

You might find that 1/16" is good for barrel markings; anything bigger is difficult to imprint evenly over the curve of the barrel. And I have seen that in Dunlap's book and others too.

ENCO has a decent stamp set with 1/16" letters and numerals for a few bucks. I am going to order them.
