Where in dfw is GTG for sbr engraving?   What is required per the AFT?

Mister guns in Plano used to do them while you waited.

https://www.identmarking.com/

That's who I have used for SBR's and Suppressors. They do markings for several manufacturers and overall they are a great company that I recommend to everyone.

Was hoping to get it done while I wait.  I looked at Ident, bit of a drive but doable.

I've used Capitol Armory 3 times, very fast and reasonable price for good work.

Same here, I have used them for the engraving on both my SBR projects - fast, fair price with great work and customer service.

Give them a call - on some weeknights they stay open late and will do engraving while you wait.

Yep, while you wait tue and thur 5-9 cash only.

Thanks guys

The knife store on 820 will do it while you wait.  I dont think they have an FFL so that's the only way they can do it.  

House of Blades, forgot about them.

+1 for Ident if you want it done right.  They are usually busy but they do a kick ass job.  I took all my SBRs there for engraving and it looks really good compared to what my friends had done.

Didn't realize Cedar Park was in the DFW metro area.

The truth is, is that the language about SBRs and engraving them is a grey area. You could easily not do it and be 100%. The manufacturer’s marking does suffice.

You will hear the opposite. Though because it is a grey area, quite a few people do it “just in case.”

I would ask those same people if they’ve ever had an ATF agent come to their home to check their SBRs to see if they’re engraved.

You can send it in.  I sent them an SR25 lower the week before last and they turned it around same day.

I live 5 hours away from Austin and 4 from DFW.  I've had some done in person if the schedule allows but shipping is quick with the right vendor.

By that logic we shouldn't bother following any nfa laws.

This guy gets it!

In all seriousness though, you have failed to grasp my logic. Read through the thread and do some Google searching.

Guess I've been marking my stuff needlessly.

At least they are all hidden.

I always assumed that message got silenced because of indent being a site sponsor.

I’m calling Ivory Hecker if anyone messes with me.

Malarky.
There is no "grey area".
ATF regs clearly state what is required of the maker of an NFA firearm.
There are 87 threads on this.

87 threads must be wrong then.

Do you work for Ident Marking?

Did you not see my post below that one saying you're right?  wrong, wrong wrong wrong, wrong!  Lol

The Truth About Guns should be named Bullshit About Guns.......cause they were wrong in 2016 and still wrong.


Well, TTAG is wrong in his first paragraph. ATF requires firearms to be marked with certain information even if not intended for sale in interstate commerce.
Secondly, individuals don't "manufacturer", they "make"........manufacturing firearms requires a license. When the article was written there was no requirement for a maker of a Title I firearm to engrave that firearm. There is a recent proposal by ATF to require marking.




No, it doesn't. ATF doesn't use the term "remanufacture". Here's why.....it is already "manufactured" and marked according to ATF requirements. A nonlicensee intending to make an SBR from an existing Title I firearm files a Form 1 as the "maker" of an NFA fiream and on approval makes the Title I firearm into an SBR......he doesn't "remanufacture" jack squat.



Sigh. TTAG is so TTAG.
Just read that first sentence a couple of times. Let it soak in. Let the journalistic quality of the 3rd grade student newsletter cogitate.
A person making an NFA firearm on a Form 1 IS NOT A LICENSED MANUFACTURER!!!  Unless of course, you ARE an 07FFL/SOT (a licensed manufacturer), who doesn't use a Form 1 because he doesn't fucking need to apply for permission or pay a tax that's why he pays his yearly SOT.
If TTAG had read the title of the Form 1 they would know this. But hey, its TTAG and the truth takes a back seat or as in this "article" get left behind completely.

 

 


Horseshit.
The author, is confusing the making of NFA firearms with the making of Title I guns. The marking requirements are different.



Wrong. You engrave an NFA firearm when made, not when sold. Remember, you aren't a licensed dealer or manufacturer so you don't manufacture or make firearms "for sale".



The firearm remains in the NFA Registry, but a notation is made that it is no longer in NFA configuration.



Again, the firearm is not "removed from the Registry", only a notation is made.
Again, it is not "remanufactured" at any point....ever.



in short, completely wrong.
Read the Form 1:

There is no grey area, and folks have had items confiscated and I know of at least one in prison.

TonyK has a great story about a guy who got his firearm confiscated for no engraving.

Tell us why ATF an the 87 threads are wrong and you are correct.


Nope.

Amen.

Add in a few lawyer web sites too.

Nevermind.....

Good grief man. You do know that an SBR IS an NFA firearm right?

Ok, looks like engraving it is.  Uncle

Do I have to engrave my full name?  Or will initials do?

Would like to read that, got a link?

It was in either the DOJ or ATF Press Releases where they do a brief on significant prosecutions. I have been subscribed for years so I do not know which one it was.

the tony_k story is it was confiscated and they electro-penciled the engraving info for him and sent it back in lieu of prosecution.

eta
“him” meaning the person with not engrave gun, not tony_k

Thanks for posting the correct info

That's who I used. It seriously took like two minutes.

Ive used them twice.  GTG

They did while I wait (15min) for me this am.

Great recommendation!
