I wanted to know what is supposed to be engraved, name, address only?
Name, City, State. Or, if you are transferring on a TRUST, you can put your Trust name on it instead.

and where it can be engraved, on the upper.
In a conspicuous place that is clearly visible.
Most people engrave their 556 on the left side above the serial number as this is the best location as it keeps the gun looking clean and streamlined.
However you can if you choose to, engrave it on the right side of the receiver in the same location as the serial number on the left side, or above where the SN# would be also on the right side, or at the rear of the receiver on either side.
That is probably the best place to engrave it on the right side and is easier for whoever will do the work.

Also, do you have the upper engraved before you get the tax stamp back? or can you send it to be engraved before you get the tax stamp back?
I would wait until I got the stamp back from the ATF before having it engraved, or if you have it at an FFL they can engrave it and hold onto it until your stamp comes back.
I hope this is helpful.
