List of FFL's doing SN engraving

[asdaven]

Well, yes, it does seem unfair for the state to make you into a criminal for having purchased something that at the time you bought it was legal to buy and have. They are allowed to do things like that, and it extends to many kinds of products, not just firearms, but things in common trade, like gold. What you miss in your example is that while buying and possessing the unmarked firearm was legal, continuing to possess it after a fixed date is illegal unless you bring it into compliance by means the law prescribes. Of course if the prescribed means are unavailable except to destroy the firearm and forfeit its value, the state has effectively taken it from you without just compensation.

To the other poster lamenting the fact that this thread is not confined to a list of FFLs providing marking services, I can say that some of us posting are actively exploring constructive options to accomplish just that, and that as soon as more progress is made, information will be shared here.

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.

Can any MDS members CGI a fire? Lol

Does this business have an FFL?

Per below, YES

I don't believe so looking at the website, but I did not contact them.

I just looked at their website, and yes they are an FFL. That’s all I know, as I’ve never heard of them before

Call them and describe the job, get a quote.

 

[Slackdaddy]

Hagerstown?? ain't happening

 

[trickg]

Hagerstown?? ain't happening

If the price was right I'd do Hagerstown if I could dump everything off all at once and pick it all up at the same time. I'm guessing you live a good bit further away than I do.

 

[Slackdaddy]

Yeah,, SOMD

 

[Mark75H]

Yeah, just because they do engraving DOESN'T MEAN they will do THIS engraving. Better call them and confirm. There are MANY FFL's that do engraving, but NONE so far are willing to do this.

He will do 80% pistol lowers needing ATF-compliant marking.

 

[Sundazes]

He will do 80% pistol lowers needing ATF-compliant marking.

Does that make it MD compliant?

 

[Mark75H]

Does that make it MD compliant?

Exactly. MD compliance is WAAAAY different from ATF

MD allows either marking to the ATF standard: FFL number (abbreviated)+"some other number" or the MD alternative: builder zip code+ builder initials+unique number.

So the answer is "yes."

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 Maryland did this. Plus I have model, caliber, etc engraved to make it look official. I keep hearing mixed opinions on this. I was told by someone I just have to fill out a 77R and use the serial number I put on it. I guess the big question I'd does city and state suffice as location or does it absolutely need the zip code? In the ATF and California specifications, it's city and state. Or most other places that regulate this. Nobody ever puts a zip code on their recievers. Trouble is I'm not sure what to do because the new law targets unserialized recievers. Mine are but just not officially on any books. And I did this just in case they were regulated in the future and allows identification marks to law enforcement if lost or stolen . And this was all done before any law on them was passed. Thinking about it more, an FFL marking it with another serial number might be a Grey area. Or if my serial number was obliterated for a new one, then thats a big Grey area for me and the business doing the work. Or I'm not sure if I should try to fill out a 77R with my current serial number and see if goes through? Or would that risk legal trouble doing that?

Why can't you take it as-is the the state police and have them record it? It sounds as if you already meet the marking requirement in the law for content.
