    @Noah Krankowsky it is hard to say without testing it, but some metals are just to hard or too thick to stamp into.

    Pauline we are using blanks intended for stamping, usually made from copper, brass, pewter, or silver plating on one of those. Some of them are available on our site, though we carry limited styles: www.thebeadco.com/CategoryProductList.jsp?cat=Tools:Metal+Stamping+Supplies

    I would probably just put it on top of a bead matt or something similar that will keep the front from scratching. Unless there is a cabochon or something you don't want to damage, you should be ok with that.

    Hello! What kind of metal do you exactly use? I've made tons of beautifull aluminum discs, but now I really can't stamp them well. My dad can, but when I stamp as hard as I possible can, there only is a little mark...Whilst I thought aluminum is the most soft silver coloured metal (apart from real silver). In the other reactions I saw someone say 'brass", but brass is gold coloured, right?

    AR receivers are aluminum which is softer than steel (unless you are using welded flat spot receivers). You are fine, but be aware that the walls of the aluminum is thin. Extruded aluminum is strong, but potentially you could crack or shatter it. Stick apiece of steel between the gaps and rest on a solid surface to be 100% sure you don't damage it. Keep in mind the BATFE doesn't actually require serial numbers unless you sell back... then again they don't follow their own rules anyways so...

    Because you can't hammer all of the letters at the same time. It will dilute the force and the stamps will bounce around.
