If the feds say something similar to NFA compliant markings (without a tax stamp) are we good to serialize it ourselves? I’m half asleep and being lazyRemember:
If I’m reading this right, I think you might be able to build such a thing but will have 30 days to get it engraved.But what about surplus parts kits and rewelds and those kinda of projects? I have a PPS-43 kit sitting here. Was going to turn it into a semi-auto carbine with 16" barrel but don't want to run amuck of this new law.
Thanks-
You could engrave it before building it.If I’m reading this right, I think you might be able to build such a thing but will have 30 days to get it engraved.
Goner.I'm still up in the air on what to do. I have an older gen1 P80 that does not have the metal strip in it. Is that a goner or can you engrave the frame anywhere? What is the definition of easily obliterated? I can easily obliterate a serial number on any gun.
Possibly not total. But there is at least a state or two they are likely to win. PA will likely go Dem.Lol, the Dems aren’t going to gain Senate seats in the next election

But moderates have almost no chance of winning Rep primaries these days. Dem moderates have it slightly better, but not much because the Woke push turnout in their primaries whereas moderates don't seem to have the motivation to show up at the polls.Going hard right doesn’t tend to get a ton of those independent voters.
I've learned not to underestimate the power of the middle finger vote. The outcome will depend on who is most ticked off at the status quo on Election Day. If Putin commits suicide with two shots to the head some time between now and early October, sanctions may get softened and fuel prices will drop significantly as Russian petro production floods the market.I think republicans have a chance of capturing the senate majority. But it is not a sure thing at all. They might come away with a seat or three less than they have now.
But if Reps control House, which is likely, that means those two votes are not as needed, except for confirmation votes on nominees. Schumer can posture all he wants on gun control and Woke hot-button issues, but he won't get any of it through a Rep-controlled House.Dems have 52 or 53 seats to 47 or 48? Sinema and Manchin aren’t going to control anything anymore.
Definitely . I think it also says 1954 on it. Which would make it a vintage firearm exempt of this law I think. But I don't think that would fly because it's getting put back together in 2022 and becoming a whole different semi automatic firearm. So it would be made in 2022 I guess.It’s not a “traceable” serial number. It was also decommissioned. I’d say gray area. Lots of serialized guns have no paper trail.
I'd say the largest percentage of firearms produced earlier than 1980 have no paper trail to the current owners.It’s not a “traceable” serial number. It was also decommissioned. I’d say gray area. Lots of serialized guns have no paper trail.
You should probably burn it too.
at this point i will save it for that no knock warrant.You should probably burn it too.

Am I wrong that this law is useless?The state provides two avenues to have firearms serialized by federally licensed dealers:
-FFL does it in line with what’s required of the federal rule. They use part of their FFL number to serialize the gun. Done.
Or
-FFL does it so that it is serialized with more personal info of the owner and then the firearm is registered with the state police.
Anything made post 3/1/23 must be registered with MSP within 30 days after it becomes a firearm.
This is explained on page three and after of a supplemental brief filed by MSI: https://www.marylandshallissue.org/...and-motion-for-expedited-hearing-and-decision
Engage Armament is so far one of the few capable and willing companies who would perform the engraving service, but for now, Montgomery County’s own law prohibits them or anyone from possessing any unserialized frames or receivers within the county. The state made a method for people to comply with the law and keep their stuff, but the county’s ordinance interferes with that. They claim it doesn’t: https://www.marylandshallissue.org/...f-senate-bill-387-and-house-bill-425-into-law
This lawsuit against Montgomery County is over whether or not the county bill 4-21 is pre-empted by state law. A hearing is scheduled for 5/23. More here: https://www.marylandshallissue.org/jmain/counselor-s-corner/msi-v-montgomery-county
We engrave receivers, typically for ATF Form 1's. We will not do the first option, but can do the second.The state provides two avenues to have firearms serialized by federally licensed dealers:

Notify the ATF that the State Legislature is requiring MD residents to break Federal Law.
