solareclipse2 Posted August 10, 2018 at 10:46 AM Share Posted August 10, 2018 at 10:46 AM I just want to know why you would serialize one, you don't have to serialize it and on polymer guns a serial number has to be on a piece of metal embedded in the polymer which seems like a PITA to do if you don't have to do it.

VannDaddy Posted August 10, 2018 at 01:23 PM Share Posted August 10, 2018 at 01:23 PM From the ISRA email yesterday I read only certain classes of FFL’s can serialize firearms. I was not aware of this, nor do I believe it is accurate, though I may be mistaken. As I understand the laws, I believe these statements as true (but I am not a lawyer nor an FFL):Any firearm you make must be intended for your ownership. It is not illegal to sell a firearm you make, but they are not to be made with the intent of selling. You do not have to serialize the firearm, but you may if choose. I have heard of people putting specific numbers and phrases on lowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not aware of this, nor do I believe it is accurate, though I may be mistaken. I just went to read that. I agree there are some statements in there I am skeptical of and would want to see sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcompton Posted August 10, 2018 at 08:42 PM Share Posted August 10, 2018 at 08:42 PM I serial all my home builds for insurance purposes. If anything ever happens to my collection they can be positively identified and accounted for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Mcfly Posted August 11, 2018 at 04:00 PM Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 at 04:00 PM Hold on a sec. Why is there a debate about this? Did anybody READ my question? All I wanted to know where can I find someone who can serialized my polymer80. That's all.. If I had my own tools I've wouldn't be asking. I just want to support a local business. It's not a debate..

Gamma Posted August 11, 2018 at 09:39 PM Share Posted August 11, 2018 at 09:39 PM The answer is that nobody can properly serialize your P-80. AFAIK there is no metal plate embedded in the plastic that is needed for the serial number. If an FFL 07 did it, they'd have to charge you a lot and run it through their books as (I think) they'd have to be the manufacturer. This would seem to defeat the whole purpose of a P-80. The laser marking places do 80% AR lowers for people wanting mil replica markings, I don't know if they are putting those s/n's in their books or not. I would presume that if it's a finished lower they would have to. If you feel you need need a number on the pistol, an OEM slide or barrel will have an s/n on it, that would be the easiest solution.

There is a metal plate underneath the rail just like the glock but a bigger plate. I already found a company called Atomic Engraving. They can serialize it for me. You CAN NOT have done any work to the blank before sending it out. It MUST be a virgin 80% frame. $35, any serial number you want. Thanks for the help everyone.

Depends what kind of "work" you're talking about. Trigger job, polishing, replacement parts, etc.. That's a gunsmith's job. What I did was to send my 80% frame(NOT A FIREARM) to Atomic for custom serialized engraving. Then they'll send it back untouched(except the custom engraving) untouched. Once I get it back then I'll finish it myself. Google atomic engraving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
