Guys,
What are roll marks? Where would one find them?

Defects in metal or alloy coil by rolls. Not sure how it relates with firearms, though.

The roll marks are the embosed/stamped markings on the firearm, such as make, model, serial number, logo, caliber markings, safe/fire, etc...

No, I've seen it here and on another forum. "Roll marks" somewhere on a rifle. Maybe the lower.

Ah...as I said, never heard the markings on a rifle referred to as "roll marks". Learn something everyday.

It looks super clean until you actually use the gun. Well i mean "USE" the gun. I hunt out in the desert most often and I noticed after the 2nd or 3rd trip the white paint is starting to get a little brown. Definately looks dirty now, not so clean and tight looking anymore...
I'm gonna go for the complete mono-colored blackout next

At FN the "Roll Marks" on the M-16 lower are done on the CNC when it is machined.
Most of the barrels and pistol stuff is done with a laser and on the M240 for example we use a press to roll mark the weapon name & FN's info but the S/N is etched in with a laser.
