You can engrave any damn thing you want on your firearm - as mentioned above. Ponies, skulls, bible verses, your underwear tag information, scrolls and wreaths or even random numbers. Only thing you cannot do is obscure or remove the required original manufacturer's markings which are already present.

If you choose to engrave all of your "manufacturer's" information before the application is approved all you do is risk having to go make a correction if they made you change your trust name or city/state abbreviation verbage or something to that effect.

The law does require that you get that engraving done before you go attaching the short barrel to that lower, in the situation presented by the original poster in this thread, but it does not require you to wait until the application has been approved before you do the engraving.

Ahem...you are incorrect, I'm afraid.

Just spoke with Ken Mason @ NFA.

-DO NOT engrave your name/trust/corp and city until AFTER receiving your approved Form 1 and tax stamp and berore you assemble the firearm.


You can engrave you lower with unicorns and Miley Cyrus lyrics all you want but leave off the new mfg info until AFTER you're approved and BEFORE you put the rifle together. Again, straight from the examiners at NFA.


Any others???
