Tulsey, SASS#11236 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I was looking at a Marlin 1894 that had been custom converted by a gunsmith. Along the way a tang sight was added. The gunsmith drilled through the serial number on the tang. The number was restamped on the side of the receiver. Is this legal? I thought drilling through a serial number was a no-no, but others told me a gunsmith could do it if the number was restamped somewhere else?

Jake Not a 'smith, but yes. But the re-stamp MUST be done FIRST, or the 'smith is guilty of defacing the SN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
