LEO Marking Question

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - LEO Marking Question

While I was looking through the AR pic thread, I was looking at a LEO marked no ban and a question popped up. Are post 86 LEO machine guns and dealer samples required by law to have these same markings? I would think it would be kindof stupid that "preban" style semis would and machine guns not. Just a question, thanks.

No.

Class III weapons fall under a different category, being NFA weapons, and not subject to the provisions of the AWB.

According to the BATFE.

Thanks, I knew they fell under the NFA category, I was just curious if manufactuers marked their post 86 machine guns law enforcment only. But I guess not, since the NFA states nothing about law enforcement markings. I kindof figured PC gunmakers like colt would include them on everything that was not legal for civian sales. Thanks

They COULD have done so, and in many cases, probably DID, but technically, the marking would not have been required on a weapon that was class III restricted when shipped.

Our department UMPs are not marked "restricted" in any way, nor are the FN M16s in my National Guard armory( of course, those are stamped "Property of US Gov't"...... I twisted arms to make sure I got one of the few Colts off our racks...I HATE those FNs.
