Question on Importer Marks
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? |

I would not do it. I saw this on another site:

Hardcase,
Thanks for your response. That letter appears to deal with firearms remanufactured under NFA provisions. I think it would apply to a semiauto AK that I wanted to rebuild into an SBR but I'm not so sure it applies to a C&R revolver. |

It's also a separate violation to transfer a firearm that's been so modified. Of course, the surest way to find out would be to send a letter to the BATFE because this is all just my opinion.

Thanks for your followup. You may be right after all. I think you're also correct in suggesting a letter to ATFE to clarify the issue in a more concrete way. I'll be sure to post their response once received.
