As some of you may know I have already ordered my JAE-100 G3 for my M1A. I have requested the engraving for it so I have been playing with ideas of what to put on it. I have finally narrowed it down and it is about ready for submission. Just want to know what some of you may think. See if you any comments or suggestions.

Beside this picture will be Airconda and then below it on the cheek rest in the indent portion would be "Always Ready To Strike" or "Ready To Strike." let me know what you guys think. And yes I know it is a cobra... I think it looks cooler to be a cobra lol.

I like "strike at will". It's your rifle, so make sure you like what you're paying for!

Condas do not have fangs and are slow they are not like the movies Your picture looks more like AIRcobera, Engraveing is like a tatoo if is not right your stuck with it more so with hard steel. People looking at tatoos might think "WHAT WAS HE THAINKING" just my .02

Yeah that is what I am thinking Metonymy. Just seeing what everyone else thinks. I got myself about 8 months to decide what is going on it anyway lol.

Yeah, it is a Corba. That is what I was drawing it after. Understand that it is a contradiction in name and symbol, but as you stated Anacondas are slow and fangless so if I were to use an Anaconda, I am not sure it would would look as cool. I guess if I really wanted to be accurate, I could take the time and effort to beef up an Anaconda for the symbol.

With some feed back and multiple suggestions, I have come back with an updated design.
