If I get the engraving done below where the side saddle is, because it is easily removable, is that good to go?

I have a long ass name, so engraving takes up some space. Looking for as low profile as possible.

Not sure if that is gtg or not but, why not engrave the receiver then have a window milled into the saddle so all you have to do i remove the shells instead of having to take the saddle off?

It's an el cheap side saddle I've had since I got the shotgun roughly 15 years ago. I dont think the shells would hold.

ETA: Now that the barrels short and the extension tube is worthless, I am considering a side saddle that carries 6-8 to make up for the capacity on hand.

Open to recommendations for that as well. This gun is gonna be a range toy, and probably carried if ever backpacking or the like. Not really a hunting or defensive gun. Just built for fun.

I see what you are saying. The original pic looked like you could engrave along the bottom of the saddle and mill a windows. The close up showed me that the receiver is angled in toward the bottom of the saddle so, that is not possible.

Good luck figuring out your solution, I do not run side saddles so I can not help you pick one.

Good thought though, so I'll keep that window cut idea in mind as I look at side saddles.

I might end up just engraving the barrel, since it's the only short barrel that is going on this gun.

Is engraving on barrel good if it's on the underside by the mag tube where you don't see it when the gun's assembled? Or does it have to be visible when the gun's assembled, IE, on the side like manufacturer marks etc.

Wow, I feel dumb. The spot right above the load port is exactly where Mossbers engrave. That would be simple, and not obnoxious.

That's where mine is engraved, and what THSF suggested.

But my trust is only 4 characters long

FWIW, as long as the engraving is "conspicuous" on the firearm, it doesn't matter if it gets covered by an accessory.

Even if it's inconspicuous, I'm not sure anyone (including ATF) cares.

Do we have to engrave the receiver or can the barrel be done, like an AR?
Link Posted: 9/11/2022 4:42:14 PM EDT
[Last Edit: KitBuilder] [#14]
Barrel is an acceptable location, per the law.

Edit: It was until ATF changed CFR on August 24, 2022.
Now the barrel is not an acceptable NFA engraving location.

I dont know when or if it changed, but my engraver said the same thing.  He just engraved the magazine tubes for me.

Some of y'all are quoting 478. NFA regs are 479.
Discussion ForumsJump to Quoted PostQuote History

§ 479.102 Identification of firearms.

(a) Identification required.  Except as otherwise provided in this section, you, as a manufacturer, importer, or maker of a firearm, must legibly identify the firearm as follows:

(1) Serial number, name, place of business.  By engraving, casting, stamping (impressing), or otherwise conspicuously placing or causing to be engraved, cast, stamped (impressed) or otherwise placed on the frame or receiver thereof, an individual serial number, in a manner not susceptible of being readily obliterated, altered, or removed. The serial number must not duplicate any serial number placed by you on any other firearm. The frame or receiver must also be marked with either: Your name (or recognized abbreviation), and city and State (or recognized abbreviation) where you as a manufacturer or importer maintain your place of business, or in the case of a maker, where you made the firearm; or if a manufacturer or importer, your name (or recognized abbreviation) and the serial number that begins with your abbreviated Federal firearms license number, which is the first three and last five digits, as a prefix to a unique identification number, followed by a hyphen, e.g., “12345678-[unique identification number]”; and

(2) Model, caliber or gauge, foreign manufacturer, country of manufacture.  By engraving, casting, stamping (impressing), or otherwise conspicuously placing or causing to be engraved, cast, stamped (impressed) or placed on the frame or receiver, or barrel or pistol slide (if applicable) thereof certain additional information. This information must be placed in a manner not susceptible of being readily obliterated, altered, or removed. The additional information shall include:

(i) The model, if such designation has been made;

(ii) The caliber or gauge;

(iii) When applicable, the name of the foreign manufacturer or maker; and

(iv) In the case of an imported firearm, the name of the country in which it was manufactured. For additional requirements relating to imported firearms, see Customs regulations at 19 CFR part 134.

In short,
Receiver or frame has the manufacturers, importers or makers name, serial# and location.
For model, caliber or gauge, foreign manufacturer and country of manufacture........you can use receiver, frame, barrel or slide.

I engraved the barrel on my SBS. Fortunately it was approved before August this year. I did not know about this change until now.
