Who could engrave a name on my 10/22?

Whats the finish? Will it need to be re-blued or painted after? If not, you might want to try your local trophy & plaque store. This place says they do custom objects on their web page.
I was thinking they could do it while you wait. After thinking this over again, there is a law that if you provide a service to another persons firearms you have to be a licensed gunsmith.
“Gunsmith”, any person who engages in the business of repairing, altering, cleaning, polishing, engraving, bluing or performing any mechanical operation on any firearm, rifle, shotgun or machine gun.
Sorry for the speed bump, hopefully someone else can help you.
In Ma you have to be a licenced gunsmith to provide those service's. I think that is why they defined "gunsmith".
Chapter 140: Section 122. Licenses; contents; fingerprints of applicants; procedure on refusal of license; fees; punishment for improper issuance
ETA; If we are going to continue this, we have to do this in another thread. Let's get this back to the topic please.

I know legalities belong in another thread but FWIW the 10/22 is very easy to strip down to a bare receiver which is in a sense a hunk of easily portable steel that can be sent anywhere including to licensed smiths who do engraving.

Not sure about legalities but I'm sure you could also hang around the local Things Remembered stand in a local mall while they engraved it for you.

While I completely agree that its stupid, that bare receiver is a gun, and as such, the mere possession of it can be a felony.
I would recommend that if your gonna have a gun worked on by a non-FFL, make sure you are present the entire time the thing is being worked on. Federal law requires that if the firearm is left overnight or moves in interstate commerce, it must go to a FFL and it must be logged into and out of the dealers bound book.

That is the correct definition federally, but in MA, the "gun" must be able to "fire a shot" to be classified as such.
However, if I know what Dwarven1 is thinking, the last thing he wants to do right now is take that gun apart.

Got THAT right... it's dialed in nicely. Just want to either replace the takedown screw or shorten it a little (apparently, it's a known problem that if your takedown screw loosens up after a few hundred rounds, it might be a little too long and is touching the barrel). Other than that I don't want to change it at all!
Just want to engrave it with it's new name: Sting.

Does it glow when gun-grabbers are near?

I agree, thats why I said hang around while they do the engraving.
I guess one of you didn't get the joke...
