Joe Public
Dallas, Texas

If you are registering under a Trust or Corporation, use that name instead of your real name.

The engraving must be on the receiver in a spot that is visible WITHOUT disassembly. Letters must be at least 1/16" tall and engraving at a depth of .003" or more.

Hope this helps.

Where did you get this information? If you register a lower you bought like a RRA, STAG, whatever as a SBR. That company is still the manufacturer of the weapon. You are not required to engrave your name initials anything like that anywhere. The name of the mfg. and the serial number are already on the weapon. If you fill out your forms correctly you are not required to engrave anything. The only time you become the manufacturer is if you actually manufacturer the lower, like finish an 80% receiver. If you are forging your own lowers then yes you must engrave it.


From the footnotes of the form 1 Im looking at right now

h. Serial numbers and other Markings.
If an existing firearm is being modified into an NFA firearm, enter the existing serial number of the firearm into item 4g and the name and address of the original manufacturer into item 4a. If the NFA firearm is being made from parts, your name and address are to be entered into 4a and a serial number you create is to be entered into item 4g.

If you write your information on the form instead of the correct info, then yes you must engrave it on the lower. I personally would never engrave, or pay someone to engrave my name and address into a receiver. Especially if the people I was registering it with told me I didnt have to.

You are just plain wrong. Period. When you register an SBR it must have the name of the OWNER engraved and the city, state as well. No one should listen to this person as he obviously has no idea what he is talking about.

Actually it doesnt make anything easier. If you read the letter its actually pretty cut and dry. If your making an sbr on form1 use the orginal mfg's serial number and markings. Our advice that no additional requirements for marking are correct. We were negligent in advising you to mark your weapon with your name, city and state.?? So either the ATF is completely retarded, or you dont have to mark the weapon.
