The FBI (?) has record of the bullet markings that came out of my factory bbl. What happens if I put in a LWD, KKM, SL, etc... bbl in its place?
Do bbl makers also fire sample shots and record who they are sent to?
What makes you think the FBI has this information?
A few people told me the 2 test shots fired by Glock were sent to feds. I believed it since more than one person told me the same thing. Never cared enough to look into it myself. I take it those test shots are just to make sure the gun works then, which is what I thought beforehand.Voire dire question, who is telling you this?
Yeah, the two spent cases. The envelope has a stamp with the date, employee, FFL #, rifling description, and a couple other lines of info.Are you talking about the spent shell casing that comes with some new guns?
I think that was some kind of case ID datebase crud out of N.Y.
Yeah, the two spent cases. The envelope has a stamp with the date, employee, FFL #, rifling description, and a couple other lines of info.
Ah, ok, the gun culture belief that we are a unitary government. Got it now. I.e., in the gun culture every governmental action is "the feds".A few people told me the 2 test shots fired by Glock were sent to feds.
Yeah, the two spent cases. The envelope has a stamp with the date, employee, FFL #, rifling description, and a couple other lines of info.
Ok. This is making sense.There are a precious few states that require those spent casings be sent to the State Police (Perhaps NJ and MA are two of those states?). If you buy a gun NIB from an FFL in those states - you don't get possession of the fired casing.
If YOU have the casings - then no one else does. Think about it.
And as far as changing the barrel, FP/striker, extractor, ejector, slide, etc... Changing any one or any combination of components WILL change the physical characteristics of both bullet and casing as the weapon is fired.

Millions of the publics tax dollars spent
on liberal feel good politics.
Honestly those casings aren't always yours, either. I've heard, (I know, I know; I don't have a source or documentation, and I can't remember the manufacturer,) that people have bought guns before that did not have a chamber cut out of the barrel....but that came with fired casings.
Just what I've heard.
Unpossible. They are the light and the way forward. We are just bitter clingers.
I always thought that was stupid/funny. All kinds of weapons have easily changeable barrels but the serno is on the frame. Government kind of logic I guess.
Be glad! If the S/N was on the barrel / upper / other changeable part then you'd have to jump through the hoops for every S/N'ed part you change out.
