I wonder why you couldn’t just engrave any ol’ number in there?

I wonder why you couldn’t just engrave any ol’ number in there?

I wonder what the point of the whole exercise is unless the serial numbers are intended to be tied to some database.

Anyone building a firearm for themselves could just assign it serial number 1, if it was the first firearm they built for themselves, or just pick some random number.

That's why Random.org exists.

The square root of negative Pi. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

[griffin]

Im sure by taking it to a ffl, per the ruling, the ffl reports the serial number to an atf log.

[griffin]

Or keeps it at the shop until the businbusiness goes belly up.
But if there isnt an atf log, how can the sn uniquness, w/r to other guns, be assured?
