I was on another forum and I was wondering what is the requirements of the FFL receive the frame/receiver and engrave it with FFL #/Serial #?
What I'm wondering is if there is a loophole where an C&R FFL can receive a frame/receiver and engrave the required information (his C&R FFL #) into it?
Looking at the new section of bill 1705, it states:
22 NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. A new section is added to chapter 9.41 RCW
to read as follows:23
24 (1) A federal firearms dealer or other federal licensee
25 authorized to provide marking services for firearms may imprint a
26 firearm or unfinished frame or receiver with a serial number.
27 (2) The firearm or unfinished frame or receiver shall be
28 imprinted with the licensee's abbreviated federal firearms license
29 number as a prefix (which is the first three and last five digits)
30 followed by a hyphen, and then followed by a number as a suffix,
31 e.g., "12345678-(number)." The serial number must be placed in a
32 manner that accords with the requirements under federal law for
33 affixing serial numbers to firearms, including the requirements that
34 the serial number be at the minimum size and depth, and not
35 susceptible to being readily obliterated, altered, or removed.

Can "other federal licensee authorized" be a C&R licensed FFL for the WA bill? Possible loophole?
Not sure how it will look on the Federal/ATF level bill though since I haven't looked closely at that yet.
