Food for Thought
Frequently Asked Question Q: My pistol has a lot of engraving on it. Meaning, it has the maker's name, the model name, the caliber, and the serial number in two places. I'd like to have some of this removed by a gunsmith, just for the sake of appearance. Of course, I would not remove the serial numbers. Can I do this legally? A: MCL 750.230 states: "A person who shall willfully alter, remove, or obliterate the name of the maker, model, manufacturer's number, or other mark of identity of a pistol or other firearm, shall be guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or fine of not more than $1,000.00. Possession of a firearm upon which the number shall have been altered, removed, or obliterated, other than an antique firearm as defined by section 231a(2)(a) or (b), shall be presumptive evidence that the possessor has altered, removed, or obliterated the same." So, not only do you have to leave the serial numbers on the pistol. You also have to leave all marks of identity. As you can see above, the penalty for removing any of the information listed is quite severe. Also note that merely possessing a gun that has been unlawfully altered raises the presumption that you did, or ordered, the removal. So, the only safe course of action I can recommend is to leave all factory engraving intact. I can find no prohibition on adding decorative, or personalized engraving so long as the original factory engraving is left intact. |
| easy answer is leave the original intact and order a aftermarket "blind marked" slide blind marked |
| I know i can remove any marks on the barrel and slide i want legally. The lower/grip os the part not to be messed with. Of his wasnt so i wouldnt be able to swap aftermarket blind slides and barrels in with no numbers. But i can get a glock slide cheaper than a bare lone wolf. Removing serials numbers and marks would make things less confusing for leo if i had a serial on my g19 lower, another serial on my g23 slide, and another serial on my 357 sig barrel. |

I'm pretty sure that is incorrect. If you buy a slide or barrel with no markings that is fine. Defacing something existing on one, however, is a felony from what I understand. But I'm no lawyer. |

Well I'm quite certain you'd be wrong. The slide and barrel along with their markings don't mean anything legally, the frame does. Take a look at some of the Glock customizers like Salient, they take the original slide and mill the hell out of it, removing pretty much all of the original markings. If that were a no go, we would be hearing about it by now. |
