[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1633754, member: 2736"] There are explainable reasons for not altering the receiver IDs because they are the controlling/registered piece of the firearm. the barrel, stock, trigger are not. you can even change the bolt. They are used to track a firearm from the manufacture to the end user, so as long as you don't alter IDs on the receiver, there is no problem. You may remove the original number and place it somewhere else, but it is still altered and could become a case for controversy. I am surprised that the depth requirement has changed because it was decided that .007 was deep enough because even if the serial number is ground off a simple acid etch can bring the numbers back because the stamping process compresses the material below the actual number and the denser area of the metal is not effected by the acid etch as much as the original area. Just saying J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
