Marking and identifying every firearm

Every firearm that passes through a licensed business has to be identifiable, and the rules say precisely which part carries the marks and what they must show. This chapter takes the definitions § 1.4 introduced and puts them to work.

In this chapter

• +Which part of a weapon is the frame or receiver, and what makes an unfinished one count
• +What a serial number and the accompanying marks must show, and how deep they must be
• +What a licensee must do with a privately made firearm, and how armor piercing ammunition is identified
