How does one document that a firearm was "manufactured" before July 1, 2019, therefore verifying it is not an "Untraceable" Firearm per the RCW? Timestamped photos on June 30? ...
That's one way but how would you prove the timestamps are not faked? One thing you could do is take numerous pictures of the build (definitely focus on unique markings -- dings, dents, self-applied serial number), print them out, and have the pictures notarized. That may be a belt and suspenders approach, but it would be much cheaper than hiring an expert to prove you didn't modify data in a digital file.
Then never modify the firearm in such a manner that pics became valueless.
