Hello to All,

As my first post I'd like to ask a question regarding importer's marks. Are there any legal issues in removing that mark from a C&R firearm? The specific firearm in question is one of those nice 1895 Nagants floating around for under $100. The guns look really nice but the R Guns importer stamp really reminds me of the atrocious rollmark found on Rugers. Can I legally replace the stamped sideplate with one not so brutalized?
