Did the ATF drop the engraving requirement? I just efiled a few days ago. Didn’t see a place to add the engraving.
Assuming they did not drop it. What are the depth and size requirements?

Thank you!

Yeah, the last form actually had a box to fill in specifically what you put on the gun.

You shouldn't, they just stamp the form with a notice reminding you about having to do the engraving.
