Just left my neighbors house. A bunch of us were talking guns. His good friend deals in artillery and munitions and most times travels with two rifles... one an SBR he built off a Knights lower. He had orginally setup a trust. The trust name is his birthdate in reverse... ex. 19552308 That's it. That's what his trust is named. And more odd is that that is all he has engraved on the front of the magwell. Not the number and city, state. Just the number. I questioned that and he told that he's been pulled aside a few times in his travels... at the airport and has been vigorously questioned and had to show all the paperwork for his rifle and that no one has given him any issue with that setup. Thoughts? I was sure you had to have some reasonable name of some sort with identification that it's trust, i.e., Micky Mouse Trust or whatever and that you had to have your city and state as part of the engraving. I don't know the guy all that well and I can't tell if he's just full of shit or not. |

The engraving is a requirement by the feds. The huge majority of local LEOs are not going to know what the engraving requirements are, or likely even know that there are engraving requirements. In addition to that, it is not the job of local LEOs to enforce federal law. Just because he has gotten away without engraving his rifle correctly up until now does not mean that the ATF will be OK with his failure to do so in the unlikely event that one of their agents has a reason to check it.
