well like i said the sig will have the brand and model the 1911 which will most like be from all sorts of diffrent parts all i want is the serial number no logos how is that crazy or ignorant
I've talked to two ATF offices... got two different answers (though it was regarding import marks).
I had stated that I owned a firearm that was being refinished (blued), and I had a concern over the import marks as they're generally laser etched on and quite shallow.
One BATF said there was nothing clearly stating that import marks needed to be clear/legible/intact..,. Only that the serial number be completely unaltered and the manufacturer name be unaltered.
The other stated that the import marks, along with any other marking from the factory or importer, could not be obscured in any way... further, that it was not legal to change the surface finish of a firearm. This is about where I gave up listening because it sounded pretty far fetched.
i love getting different answers
that being said, i polished the gun, smoothed the corners, blued it and have been happy. i don't fear criminal persecution because an import mark is no longer there. the manufacturer and serial are, and that (should) be good enough. i hope
