Let's say you make a clone receiver of an M16A1 with all the original markings. Would it be possible to enter these markings into your A&D and then form 2 the gun as a post sample? I haven't been able to find any good info on the legality of this and would really appreciate some insight.

As long as you put your manufacturing markings on the receiver, I do not see why not.

I haven't been able to find any good info on the legality of this and would really appreciate some insight. If your clone receiver markings show "Colt" as the manufacturer......oh hell no. Colt didn't manufacture the firearm, you did. As a 07 you have marking requirements and they are stated in § 479.102 Identification of firearms. |

I had been speaking with another FFL (who was an SOT - more clarity is developing as to why) talking about how he made a clone receiver as a post sample. I could not understand how he could have manufactured a clone rifle and then entered it into his books legally. I'm guessing he entered it into his books as a title I firearm he received? It just didn't make sense to me how that could be done so I figured I'd ask some others. |

If he manufactured the clone from an existing Title I firearm, it would have the original manufacturers markings. Thats what he would enter in his records as the acquisition if he received it from someone else. If he manufactured that Title I firearm himself, he marks it with his info and reports it on AFMER each year. If it was manufactured as an NFA firearm, he also reports it on a Form 2. |

Which is precisely why if he manufactured a clone rifle with colt's manufacturing information, it could not be entered into an A&D legally. That's where I had the question. Okay, thanks for breaking it down I think we're both on the same page. |
