My gawd man, just where are you getting your information? You can engrave ANYTHING on your lower -- zombies, cute sayings, anything, it's just decoration. Your name/trust/corporation, city and state is just that - decoration until you use it to make (note "make" not "manufacture" - important distinction - and another mistake on your part) it into an SBR and enter the "Additional description" in line 4h on the form 1. Note it's not a serial number -- it's an "additional description". What you're stating IS true if you manufacture a firearm -- which you aren't doing.
