Don't forget 80% or "homemade" firearms...no serial# or any other marking required under Federal law.
As I understand it, 80% is just that, its not a firearm because its only 80% finished, so no number needed until it becomes a firearm.
I was referring to making a "80% or "homemade" firearm" into a complete firearm.

And I'm no expert, best ask them direct, but while I think there isn't a ser# requirement for something you make, it only applies as long as it's yours. If you sell it, trade it, or give it to someone else, a serial # is required, and I believe it must be at least 3 digits or more. Plus the name and address of the maker, because its now "in commerce".
There is no federal requirement to engrave any information on a firearm you make yourself for personal use.
Here's a good read on whether you should engrave markings before transferring to another person:
