Some are so bad that they have kept me from purchaing a firearm even when the price was right. Post them up:
WARNING: REFER TO OWNER'S MANUAL

I saw a Ruger revolver with "READ OWNERS MANUAL" etched down the barrel. Derp.

I like the design of a lot of Ruger's products but that obligatory legal statement on the side of the barrel just makes me cringe. I probably would have purchases Ruger more often if it wasn't for their warnings.

my least favorite is what i call "digital graffiti" that they put on imported military firearms (usually commie guns).

Who the hell actually thinks that crap is a GOOD idea? People should be fired immediately for even bringing up the ideas. Stupid lawyers.

I wanted to buy a Blackhawk, but I don't want one with the entire owner's manual printed on the barrel...

Holy crap. How is that not considered defacing? Unbelievable! That has to lower the value.

can you take that stuff off legally as long as you keep the serial number on?

Rugers are bad, but I still think STI has the worst roll-marks (especially considering what they cost).


Honestly looks like they had the company secretary design them in Microsoft Word.

Must leave the mfg name, city, state, model, caliber and serial. Others are fair game.

I think a Glock is the only modern gun i have that does not have a warning on it, are they the only modern handgun that does not have one?

My Sig only has mfg name, city, state, model, caliber and serial number.

Everything but serial number, and caliber on the barrel. That's what every ATF agent I have ever talked to one on one has said. Oh, and the serial number thing only applies to the serial number on the part considered to be the firearm. So the serial number can be taken off of your slide, or any other part that is not considered the "firearm". Basically, don't take the number off of the part you need to do the background check to get, all others are fair game.

Love you, too.
Tin..... I'm sorry... I didn't know it was yours, or, just out of respect I wouldn't have.... my bad.

If you get bored or need a break while shooting your Ruger you can sit down and read it for a while.

That's an old joke from when Ruger had a bunch of warnings on their guns.

My SIG doesn't have a warning, neither do my Springfield 1911s.
