    That isn't legal.

    Yes it is. Do more reading.

    Cav Arms makes a lower similar to the Handl defense, as well.

    It is just me: I would NEVER engrave any of my firearms.

    And yes, they are all legal.

    He means you can't engrave the lower and it be legal. On the SCAR the upper has to be engraved.

    While it is common practice to engrave the serialized portion of the firearm, ATF regs allow marking of the frame, receiver, or barrel.

    From a practical standpoint it is extraordinarly unlikely that you would ever run into a federal or state LEO that would have a clue about NFA requirements and the fact that they have to be engraved. Probably unlikely that they would even recognize it as a Title II weapon, or even know what a Title II weapon is. It's just that it is the law. Anyway, the engraving on my NFA firearms is only 1/16 inch tall and located inside the trigger well. No big deal.

    The lower on a SCAR is not a receiver or frame.

    The definition of "frame" in this particular case refers to the frame of a pistol or revolver (the serialized portion of a handgun).

    The lower on a SCAR is just a trigger pack. It is not legal to engrave maker engraving on it.

    Frame or receiver. That part of a firearm which provides housing for the hammer, bolt or breechblock and firing mechanism, and which is usually threaded at its forward portion to receive the barrel.
    Pretty ambiguous, but the trigger pack holds the hammer.

    Any case law out there?

    There is very little case law on NFA things because it's rarely used to charge someone. And when it is, it's rarely heard on appeal.

    I personally wouldn't want to be the test case because felonies remove the legal right to own firearms. Is "trigger pack" and "lower receiver" referring to the same thing on a SCAR? I'm not too familiar with them.

    The lower on a SCAR is analogous to a trigger pack on a roller locked HK firearm. Neither are legal to engrave on them for an SBR.

    Yes I am aware some HK trigger packs are engraved for a sear, that is because they are a machinegun in themselves.
