NFA engraving ?

[Renegade]

That's interesting. Didn't know that.

Any authority for that?

Title I violations do not include "or other identification of a firearm required by this chapter", only the SN cannot be removed.

USC922

(k) It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to transport, ship, or receive, in interstate or foreign commerce, any firearm which has had the importer’s or manufacturer’s serial number removed, obliterated, or altered or to possess or receive any firearm which has had the importer’s or manufacturer’s serial number removed, obliterated, or altered and has, at any time, been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce

As long as it's over 16" yes

But then it is no longer an SBR and NFA requirements are moot.

Correct, that’s what we’ve been saying.

Any NFA length barrel you place on a registered lower would need to be engraved, UNLESS, the barrel is 16” or longer. If it’s 16” or longer, the rifle no longer meets the requirements of NFA and therefore doesn’t need to be engraved.

[MistWolf]

Are you saying to register one lower receiver (for an AR), and then engrave the barrel of each upper one wants to use on the registered lower?

Yes. Yes, I am.

And then there's this

"This information must be placed in a manner not susceptible of being readily obliterated, altered or removed."

It’s important to remember that these regs have evolved over time. The section you quote was what existed before the .003” depth requirement was added. The “manner” of marking referred to the actual way the marks were made, not where they were placed, and meant you couldn’t use pencil or crayon.

Or engrave directly on a polymer receiver

Lower. Period. If the barrel is shot out and you toss it - then what?
