Engravings are only the manufacturer's (or maker's for form1) responsibility, after that the only thing that matters is that you don't alter or remove the serial number

Thanks, I appreciate your reply!
I'm pretty new to the NFA game and still have tons of reading to do to educate myself. I do have another question that's crossed my pea brain this evening. Hypothetically, if I were to Form 1 another receiver and the engravings became worn off like my uncles gun or filled in with cerakote; would I need to re-engrave? |

The SBR need to be engraved with the maker's name, city, state. If it gets worn off then the lower is no longer engraved. Legit engraving places should engrave deep enough to prevent issues.

My advice would be to ensure your NFA items always meet the legal requirements for depth and placement |

Of course. My question was purely hypothetical.

In my understanding, in that circumstance you are the maker and responsible for the markings.
At the end of the day, I only know of two instances where markings were found to be a problem by the BATFE. In both instances the BATFE confiscated the weaon, marked it with an electro pen for the owner, and then returned the weapon |

This is a simple one.
Find an engraver locally and have it re-engraved. It won't be very expensive and it won't affect value. The peace of mind is worth it. |

Quoted:
Hey guys, I just got inherited a form 1 Rock River Arms SBR. My uncle kept it behind the seat of his truck and his name and city have become damaged due vibrations. It's mostly readable but isn't very deep. Is this something I need to worry about? I plan on panting it and am pretty sure the engravings won't be visible.
