Mark... Stop... you are wasting valuable brain cells.
I wonder what the match rate would be on a gun 500 rounds later
These cases are all from brand new guns with only factory test firing correct?
Did Jack McCauley mention this in his address at the MSI meeting? Maybe send him a PM to see if he has anything.
It sounds like this program is like similar programs, good intentions but terrible implementation and an inconvenience on law abiding gun owners.

This examines the spent case, not the bullet.
Changing the barrel would do nothing, this is about the firing pin imprint on the primer which, even with the same firing pin, is less consistent than rifling marks on bullets.
Inconsistent action on the trigger, spring tension on the firing pin, normal wear on the pin, bolt face, barrel breech, dirt in the firing pin channel and different ammo can all make a later shell different from the retained exemplar.
The concept itself is flawed, not just the program.
Or bad intentions meant to make lawful gun ownership more costly and burdensome disguised as "common sense crime fighting tools"

No where else in the country is a system like this used, or has ever been successful. Maryland jumped in with both feet and failed miserably. Pure science fiction.
And used guns are exempt. How many criminals do you think buy brand new guns? I guess "buy brand new" is a poor choice of words.
