Have begun to notice this lately, not only is it ugly, but it sets a bad precedent about tracking and tracing your guns. You do realize that machines can just read the regular serial numbers now, right? |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It is a 2d barcode called a data matrix. The military started using them about 10 years ago, the program is called Item Unique Identification or IUID. There are a couple of ways to formulate the barcode, my guess this one contains the cage code, then the part number, then the serial number. If it is scribed into the metal it is called Direct Part Marking (DPM). The sig MK25 in a previous photo has a IUID mark that is made with a material called TESA Tape. Some German car companies started using the material prior to the military to combat counterfeit parts in Africa. IUID helps the military track goods from procurement until the item is disposed of and allows different databases to exchange information about items with IUID barcodes as the items are unique throughout the DoD. Yup. IIRC Mil Std 130 has the details. |

Meh... don't really care for it aesthetically. Saw it appearing on the new Colt 901s. Glad I got a lightly used slightly older one without that. That and I lucked out and got my second James Bond serial numbered gun... now have two guns from different manufacturers starting with 007.

UID, required on all military contacts for serial controlled items for a while now. Some companies have started putting it on all their guns/optics.
I think it's partly so the "mil-spec" leg humpers can say their gun is "mil-spec" IIRC besides serial number and manufacturer it also contains part number, NSN, aquistion cost and possibly contract #. |

Jeez, what information do you think is in that QR? It was put on when the gun was made. It is not an RFID, it is a completely passive image. Scan it with a QR reader app on your phone.
I seriously doubt it has your personal information on it. Barcodes prevent transposition errors on inventory tracking and even during purchases. As more manufacturers do this, it is more likely you will see sellers scanning the barcode when you buy a gun, instead of typing it in by hand. A handwritten or typed serial number could attach your name to the WRONG gun, which could be used in crimes, simply by shifting a number or misreading the serial. |

So inform us, what's nefarious about this mark? Is it the mark of the beast? It is the symbol of the Illuminati, the Masons, and the Nazis hidden in Antarctica. It can be read by Keyhole satellites, while inside the safe, inside your house. No matter where the gun is, the barcode is being read and it is updating the database in the Skulls computers. Along with your weight, eating habits, sexual proclivities and how many times you have been sprayed with chemtrails from the United 767 that always flies over your house at 35000 feet. |

You pinstamp that code onto the part as your first operation and you can track it through the entire process. A process that includes a ton of coolant when machining. Using a sticker would be a terrible idea. |
