| I havent searched for the answer to this question, but here goes: If I make a receiver for an AK from a bent metal blank, do I need to put a serial number on it? What other information needs to be marked on the receiver, if any? Thanks in advance for any information. |

I have checked into this. As an individual, you are not required to put a serial number on your receiver. Many parts sets come with a number on the trunion anyway. That said, it is in your best interest to put some kind of marking on the receiver. I mark mine with my name, town, state, and a number. This is both pride in what I built and helpful should it be stolen. If you are building a Krink short barreled rifle, all this changes. You must put your name, town, and a serial # on the form 1 and on your gun. NFA stuff is different than the regular stuff. |
That statement may be incorrect according to State of residence. MARKING RECEIVER: To not allow for confusion with the trunion serial number,I simply center punch braille alpha/numerics inside the receiver. These are placed near the PG nut with an auto center punch. |
