    I used blue customworks today at Frederick GS. Easy to deal with and professional engraving. Like everyone before me stated he's good to go for this service. My buddy had his done at his shop so that is an option too.

    I had 5 done at RS they did a great job. 35$ for the first 10$ each addition. They did great a job at a very reasonable cost.

    However, they did not log them in to their books. So, the way I understand this MD BS, they have to be registered with MSP online with a 77R.

    I believe that an FFL is required to enter the serialization in their books, per the ATF. A 77R is not required in this case.

    This was my understanding as well. I specifically asked and was told they do not enter it in so I would have to do a 77R with MSP. Had it been entered I believe I wouldn't have had to register with the MSP.

    I did one 77R on one of the five I had serialized. I did receive the not disapproved back, so I assume I'm in compliance with the BS.

    Another satisfied customer of Blue Customworks. Great work by Alejandro. Box up you 80% stuff and head to the HoCo show on 2/5, he does it at the show while you wait.

    Why does it have to be a FFL? Why can’t an individual purchase a punch set and do it themselves? Inquiring minds…. Frugal thoughts!

    Well that sucks. I would not have used them then. They did not mention a thing about it.

    Hi @squirrelly1
    Good question. If you check out MSP's site on PMFs and scroll to the bottom, you will see this quote:

    "New Federal Regulations take effect on August 24, 2022. On or after August 24, 2022, unmarked firearms presented to an FFL for marking services will be required to be marked in accordance with the new federal regulations."


    https://mdsp.maryland.gov/Organizat...ngDivision/Firearms/Untraceable-Firearms.aspx

    If you need your PMFs serialized, I'll be happy to schedule an appointment for you, as well as answer any additional questions you may have.

    Thanks,

    Could not beat the cost especially if you have more than one. The 5 cost $75. I did the 77R with MSP and got not disapproved on all of them. So other than it being total BS in the first place it wasn't that hard to do

    So its traceable- as if that will prevent anything.
    It's complete crap. Serialization does not one thing to prevent crime nor promote firearms safety. It only provides authorities an address to go look for guns once they become illegal.

    Can somebody explain this 77R thing? I had mine engraved way past Augest, I dropped it off and picked up in a few days. I assumed I am done now, as by ATF rules they had to put it in their bound book. Do I need to call and check? if they did it the ATF way but did not put it into a bound book - does that mean they violated the ATF ruling? Will it be half ATF way now and I need to get 77R?

    I apologize in advance if this has been asked before. I try to keep up with this stuff, but to be honest, it's not my thing. I'm more into the Cowboy Guns.

    I was at the range last weekend and ran into a buddy who asked if I knew where to get P80's serialized and I pulled some of the information from this thread, but he also asked about something I didn't know about. Apparently, for a Sig style build (assuming I am using the correct terminology there) what I would have called the trigger group (he called it a FCU) is the serialized item and he got some 80% FCU's from an alternate supplier that were not serialized. (I think he said JSD or something like that, but my hearing is not so good :rolleyes: )

    Are those also covered by the serialization requirement of this law?

    Thanks in advance for any info.

    I had that thing serialized. Have not even started the build yet.

    Thanks! That's the thing he showed me a picture of so I will let him know. This is such a Charlie Foxtrot, glad I managed to stay out of it, but I sure feel bad for the folks that took the oportunity to enjoy their freedom while they could.
