Anyone have a link to ATF wording on machining 1911 or other lowers for personal use? Thanks in advance.

Number 9 is the one you are looking for.

There was another link years ago, but this is the one I found this morning.

If for your own personal use, no serial number is required, but they do advise you to mark it anyway.

Now, if you buy a bare frame, it is already serialized, and you can't remove that number.  It is technically a firearm.

Thanks, that is the wording I'm looking for. I am(for the challenge) machining a 1911 receiver from stock material.
