[QUOTE="marksmandcs, post: 1665345, member: 7605"] No sir, that is a common misinterpretation. You do NOT have to mark an already existing weapon. That only applies to making a new receiver from scratch or making a can etc. I have a close friend who has been dealing with NFA weapons for years and informed me on this when i was doing my uzi. I even called the ATF and they said since my receiver was an existing gun with the manufacturers info already on it i did not need to engrave my info. I filled out the info and serial on the gun and that was it. Got the approved papers and no ugly scribbles on my gun. Read this from the online ATF publications of the national firearms act handbook chapter 6: CHAPTER 6. MAKING NFA FIREARMS BY NONLICENSEE Section 6.1 Requirements for making NFA firearms. Persons not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms may submit an application to make an NFA firearm, other than a machinegun.93 The application process requires submission of ATF Form 1, Application to Make and Register a Firearm, in duplicate, along with FBI FD-258, Fingerprint Card, in duplicate, and payment of the $200 making tax. Appendix C contains a copy of Form 1. Section 6.2 Preparation of Form 1. Every person (other than a licensed manufacturer who has also paid the required SOT to manufacture NFA weapons) must complete the Form 1.94 Two identical copies of the application must be prepared. All entries must be made in ink. All required signatures must be original and entered in ink. Photocopies or other facsimile or carbon copy signatures are not acceptable. Under no circumstances will a form filled in by use of a lead pencil be accepted. All changes made on the form must be initialed and dated by the applicant. 6.2.1 Description of firearm. If an existing firearm or firearm receiver is being used, the name and location of the original manufacturer of the weapon should be entered in Block 4(a). If the applicant is making a completely new firearm, the applicant’s name and location should be entered in Block 4(a). The type of firearm being made, i.e., short barrel rifle, short barrel shotgun, any other weapon, silencer or destructive device, is to be entered in Block 4(b). The caliber or gauge of the firearm is to be entered in Block 4(c). If a model designation has been assigned to the firearm, that designation is to be placed in Block 4(d). If the weapon has no model designation, enter “none” in Block 4(d). The length of the barrel is to be entered, in inches, in Block 4(e) and the overall length of the firearm is to be entered, in inches, in Block 4(f). All NFA firearms must be identified by a serial number and other specified markings95. If an existing firearm is being used in the making of the NFA weapon, and that firearm is serialized, the existing serial number should be used (unless it duplicates a serial number already used by the maker on Form 1) and entered in Block 4(g). If the weapon is of new manufacture, the applicant must assign a unique serial number and enter it in Block 4(g). For example, a unique serial number could be composed of at least 4 digits preceded by the initials of the maker. NOTE: alpha characters, e.g., a name, will not be accepted as a serial number. If a name is to be used, there must be at least one numeric character in addition to the alpha characters. The serial number must be engraved or stamped on the receiver of the firearm and the caliber, model, [/QUOTE]
