Would this work for engraving an aluminum AR15 lower? It does say "capabilities of the 5W laser are: Engraving of ... coated metal and brushed stainless steel."

I think it would be able to engrave a small area, but your lower isn't "flat" and due to the protective "glass" that surrounds the laser it wouldn't be able to deal with the contours of your lower.

Pretty good reviews on Amazon.

Aluminium and copper are hard to engrave since they conduct heat so well. If it's some kind of varnish it could work, if it's anodized aluminum it probably doesn't.

I don't think it will reach the depth of S/N requirement, but for other purpose, it might be.

2.1cm x 2.8cm work area? That seems tiny and near worthless.

me thinks your math is wrong...
210mm x 280mm = 21cm x 28cm which is close to standard US letter print paper

Not sure if that would work, this doesn't appear to be a Frickin Laser.

No, but should do just fine for sea bass.
