[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 2124172, member: 5437"] And.... No one has suggested it would be legal to remove a serial number (other than the photo Jeff R posted of scope mounting holes drilled through a serial number which is in fact illegal even on an older pre-68 gun) only that it IS legal to transfer a gun made pre 68 without one. I have several old S&W 65 service revolvers that are being rebuilt as custom 3" round butt carry guns. There are one or two that will have to be extremely careful with as the serial numbers can't be touched - at all! The ATF has a procedure for a variance outlined here: [URL]https://www.atf.gov/firearms/request-marking-variance-firearms[/URL] I have an old Fox shotgun that was marked when re-imported from Canada but that was supplemental information, not a modification to the original serial number and it was made in 1912. It was made in the USA and went to Canada then was brought back to the USA shortly before I acquired it 25 or so years ago. It was marked when it came back into the country and was "imported".
