I haven't laughed this much in a thread in awhile. OP, props for not giving a fuck.

OP.....all that money for a nice SBR and you couldn't even spend $60 on getting it engraved, or at least $8 for a HF stamp kit?  Really? That looks like a 2yr old did it.

I think that's the point. OP dont cur!

......and what's wrong with a two year old with an SBR?

Sorry...I was wrong. You could have got the stamp kit for $6.40 with the HF 20% off coupon

Damn OP, I like your style. Nicely done.

I can't spell, but I can build a cheap rifle!

 

Why are you even engraving it? Per the NFA handbook definition, you aren't a Manufacturer!

Fucking awesome OP, I award you 2 internets

If it is a form 1 sbr he is.

I think a new career opportunity has opened up for you!

How much do you charge?  

It would be almost poetic to do this on a chainsaw lower.  



 

Haha!  I need to get my hands on a LaRue Tactical lower to do it to...heads would explode haha

 

Nobody actually reads anything anymore, the internet say's to do it and if the internet says to do it then that makes it so?

Have you read the NFA handbook?

From Chapter 6 -

The serial number must be engraved or stamped on the receiver of the firearm and the caliber, model, and identification of the maker must be engraved on the barrel or frame or receiver of the weapon. The marking and identification requirements for a maker are the same as for a manufacturer. Refer to section 7.4 for a detailed discussion of the requirements.

I was going to hire gentleman4561 to engrave mine until I noticed his bad grammer. It's a shame as that's some fine work ya got there.

 

LOL

You like what I did there?

i dont know what your day job is, but you need to quit it immediately and concentrate on engraving full time.

Looks good OP.

Thanks for all the support guys!  Stay tuned for my post in the Suppressor forum once my Maglite Form 1 comes back!

You mean this, "existing firearm receiver... entered in Block 4(a)

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 markings 95. 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,
and identification of the maker must be engraved on the barrel or frame or receiver of the weapon. 96 The marking and identification requirements for a maker are the same as for a manufacturer. Refer to
section 7.4 for a detailed disc ussion of the requirements.

And, It isn't for sale. I am not a manufacturer by their definition:

Section 7.2 What is a “manufacturer”?; What is “manufacturing”? 7.2.1 “Manufacturer”. As defined by the GCA, a “manufacturer” is any person engaged in the business of manufacturing fir
earms or ammunition for purposes of sale or distribution. 109 Similarly, NFA defines the term to mean any person “who is engaged in the business of manufacturing firearms”,
that is, firearms subject to the NFA. 110 To determine who is a “manufacturer” of firearms, we must look to see whether the person manufactures firearms as discussed in Section 7.2.2.
7.2.2 “Manufacturing”. “Manufacturing” is not defined by the law, regulations, or any formal ATF ruling. Nevertheless, the term has been interpreted by ATF to cover activities other than producing a
firearm from scratch. As interpreted by ATF, the term covers virtually any work performed on a firearm during the process of preparing the firearm for subsequent sale. For example, a person having a contract
with a manufacturer to apply finish ing or other work on firearms, or firearms frames or receivers, to prepare them for subsequent sale by the manufacturer would be a “manufacturer” required to qualify as
such. Of course, if the person produced firearms parts other than frames or receivers for the manufacturer or performed work on firearms parts not defined as “firearms,” the person would not be a
“manufacturer.”

ATF Ruling 2013-3

Also, if you're building a firearm on a Form 1, you're a maker, not a manufacturer.

^This. A Form 1 is an Application to Make and Register an NFA Firearm. If you file a form 1 you are making the NFA item, not Spikes, Larue, BCM, etc that might already be stamped on your lower. Again it says as the maker of the NFA item: " identification of the maker must be engraved on the barrel or frame or receiver of the weapon". There doesn't seem to be any grey area in this area of the NFA handbook for me...

SPLENDID

Nice job.

OP, how many glocks have you stippled and do you have pics of those?

Only 2.  Here is the first one I ever did when I was 16.  It ain't the prettiest, but its functional.

Ok.  Now im confused. That seems like a pretty valid argument that would lead me to believe i DO NOT have to engrave my name and city/state on my BCM lower.  Yeah im confused now..

Please alternate between upper and lowercase! Haha.

What exactly is the "that" that you're referring to? I think this is your first post in the thread, and there have been several things mentioned (mixed in among all the fantastic comments about the OP's work).

Haha!

 

There have been zero valid arguments against engraving a Form 1 lower with the maker's name, city and state in this thread.

So.  True.  



       
or 6.7% ?

Thank ya!

 

This thread needs some colorfill

This

Haha thanks y'all

 

That is really impressive!


OP you got guts, nuts, motivation, and a "can do" attitude. crazy project gets a 10/10 in my book!  
"ATF whined about not having engraving... is THIS ENGRAVED ENOUGH FOR YA! "

Haha!

 

Link?

Too tough for you to go to Harbor Freight . Com and search for "stamp set"?

here you go. I'll leave it to you to find a 20% coupon.

I bought the 1/4" set last week. Think that will be too large?

Nice!

Depends on how long the trust name is, and where you're engraving.

If you use a label maker and put a label on the surface, all you need to do is follow the letters with the engraver.  

This would make an epic GD thread.
