Thanks for the heads up!
Form the web site i found this. i have not changed any of the markings on the gun that are required by law. i have added a logo to the lower AR reciver i think we only took .005 off which is the min. i did a bunch of research on the atf site before i went a head with the logo, but i will double check with my friend who is an officer and gunsmith. he knows the NFA very well, and a competive shooter as well.
