AR-15 Savant
There are ways to destroy markings but I won't get into details on the forum.
We need to eliminate this bureaucracy, or at least get the NRA to put a serious muzzle on it.
All of the polymers I've seen have that little plate embedded. Not that I'm gonna try digging them out to see how easy it would be.
The question is, what's the possibility of ALL polymer firearms being made technically illegal all at once.
Its true. You actually can retrieve a completely destroyed serial # if its been removed from metal. It can be retrieved even if its been removed by a dremel, deeply scratched ect. Don't ask me how, don't ask me for links to a web site, but I know for a fact a crime lab can retrieve that number. Now if its been removed with a CNC machine then it could be gone forever.
I can remove a serial # off any old eagle arms at lower with a screwdriver too. With a dremel, or cut off tool, I could remove the SN off any AR lower in 30 seconds.
Interesting...
I'm sure you could remove the number on a AR by drilling all the way through, and milling out a neat little "window", though I'm sure that would cut into the resale value.
it has nothing to do with hunting guns. the NRA doesn't give a flying ****.
Metal serial numbers plates attached to polymer firearms must be embedded in such a way that removing them will significantly damage or destroy the firearm
COULDN'T THIS BE DONE WITH A GLOCK?
Kind of like Ben Grimm.Most serial numbers are stamped onto metal using substantial pressure. This process disturbs the molecular stucture of the metal where the serial number is stamped onto. the molecular structures compresses a bit and will have a subtle difference with the metal in the surrounding area. This pattern goes deep into the metal. Even if the serial number is ground off, the variation of the metal structure caused by the serial number stamping process can be made to stand out by chemical, mechanical or radiological methodology.
