Hello,
Going to take the plunge and was wondering. I just noticed my new Noveske gen 1 stripped lower has no .cal markings. My older Noveske factory built about 7-8 years ago has 5.56mm marked under the N4. 
Will this be a problem if I form 1 my new lower with out the .cal markings ? Will I need to engrave the 5.56mm along with my name city and state if approved ? Should I just form 1 my older lower ? I would rather not change up my old build Thanks I'm sure I will have more questions. |

You file it for the caliber you're building. If it happens to be marked with that caliber, no caliber needs to be engraved. If it's not, then you do engrave.
Remember that the caliber can be on the frame, receiver, barrel or pistol slide (if applicable). So, you might not need to mark the lower if the barrel already has the caliber visible. |

No need to engrave 5.56 on the receiver as long as the barrel is clearly marked 5.56. This will satisfy the ATF requirement as long as readable. Some will say readable without taking the rail off. Most of my lowers are marked with MULTI, so I insured the caliber was marked on the barrel also.

Thanks for the replies.

Yes, you're good. Barrel markings count just as much as receiver markings.
