      List of FFL's doing SN engraving

      The ATF marking even though the weapons arent directly reported to the authorities and registered...it has a paper trail now with the FFLs books. So if a crime is committed with weapon they can goto that FFL and figure out whos gun it is. Its just a simple number they put on it...painless. But...

      I was unable to open this but I think this same advisory is one of the links on the MSP website I posted the link of.

      But isnt the ATF rule just if a private owner brings their homemade firearm in for gunsmithing it needs to be marked? Not just for possession alone. If it never ends up at a FFL, then it will never have to be marked per the Federal law. However the Maryland law is requiring you to go in for a...

      Incorrect. Its Zip Code, Initials of the owner, and a unique number. Ive spoken with MSP and they just came with a new advisory over the weekend about this. Its a gunsmithing service with anybody that is an FFL with an engraving machine. They will speak with anyone who is uncomfortable or not...

      Black Bear in Silver Spring

      This is the time of year that that happens. Usually young male bears going off on their own for the first time.

      Its starting...Congressional Legislation

      Agreed. In countries theyve totally disarmed people like England, they now have a problem with stabbings.

      Its starting...Congressional Legislation

      Politics aside. And yes we can argue against control all we want. But really the real discussion should be implementing policies that will actually prevent or facilitate a better response times with these events. Some of them are simple. Like not leaving doors open in the school and to the...

      List of FFL's doing SN engraving

      I've thought about this. What if a FFL "buys" it from you for a nominal amount just to call it a sale. Dunno if I read the law right but I think after the law goes into effect , an FFL still has the ability to buy these firearms or reciever but have to serialize them to sell. Then the FFL sells...

      I might have a lead on somewhere else that does firearms engraving. Hanover Armory in Hanover, MD. They do engraving but contacted them and they said they will do it but have been told by MSP to "wait for further guidance". I did try to contact MSP and while they were somewhat helpful, I think...

      Very true. But this isn't an imported weapon. It's never changed hands, gone through a importer, a dealer, or a manufacturer other than me. The problem with two serial numbers is then if the gun comes under question...which one is the serial number? Would you have it engraved to indicate the...

      List of FFL's doing SN engraving

      What's the worst that could happen? It could be denied? Do I need a HQL to fill out the 77R? This not a handgun nor is a regulated firearm per SB 281. The MSP website contradicts itself and says all 77R forms require an HQL but then says the HQL is only required if it's a handgun. But thinking...

      List of FFL's doing SN engraving

      Well mine already has my city and state , my full name not just initials and a unique number I sent out to have professionally engraved to ATF spec and actually to the California requirements (although California has to issue you a serial number) prior to milling it out a year ago just in case...

      I'm very interested whoever will offer this marking service because I would not want to have to destroy my hardwork. Would like to find out ASAP because I imagine the few people that will offer this will end up having a lot of demand and a long lead time or wait list. And time is counting down.

      Yeah but there are some prior court cases that the government can't regulate what kinds of firearms you can have. DC had a flat out handgun ban and the court struck it down. Any new law should grandfather whatever happened before the law. My point is most things that somebody might possess that...

      Even California's law is better. You can at least apply to build a firearm they give you a serial number and you can get it serialized there before completing it. Places will do that. Once you mill it out, nobody wants to touch it. I serialized mine with my own number and it's engraved in a...
