Complete weapons or complete muffler or silencer devices, as defined in this rule, would be allowed to be marked up to seven days from completion of the active manufacturing process for the weapon or device, or prior to disposition, whichever is sooner. the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for that has reached a stage in manufacture where it can readily be made into a functional frame or receiver, that article would be a frame or receiver under the GCA. 18. [17] The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable 60. The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 repealed the FFA, replacing it with the GCA. 32. ATF's position has long been that the weapon should be examined with a view toward determining if [either] the upper or lower half of the receiver more nearly fits the legal definition of `receiver,' and more specifically, for machineguns, whether the upper or lower portion has the ability to accept machinegun parts. 33. The annualized cost of this proposed rule would be $147,048 and $135,750, also at 7 percent and 3 percent, respectively. Alternative 3Grandfather all existing firearms and receivers. The proposed rule would further codify ATF's policy not to evaluate a firearm accessory or attachment unless it is installed on the firearm(s) in the configuration for which it is designed and intended to be used, and would further explain that [a] determination made by the Director under this paragraph shall not be deemed by any person to be applicable to or authoritative with respect to any other sample, design, model, or configuration.. 227. It would make clear that even though a firearm, including a silencer, may have more than one part that falls within the definition of frame or receiver, ATF may classify a specific part or parts to be the frame or receiver of a particular weapon. For the purposes of the National Firearms Act, the term "Any Other Weapon" means: Any weapon or device capable of being concealed on the person from which a shot can be discharged through the energy of an explosive; A pistol or revolver having a barrel with a smooth bore designed or redesigned to fire a fixed shotgun shell; 27 CFR 478.11. At the same time, it would give an option for manufacturers and importers to avoid marking their city and state as currently required at 478.92(a)(1)(ii)(D), (E) and 479.102(a)(1)(iv) and (v), or obtain a marking variance from this requirement, by allowing them to mark their abbreviated license number as a prefix to the serial number as an alternative because this information can be obtained by looking up the licensee's information. Destructive device. These courts' interpretation of ATF's regulations, if broadly followed, could mean that as many as 90 percent of all firearms now in the United States would not have any frame or receiver subject to regulation. Accordingly, prohibited persons have easily obtained them. Alternate Means or Period of Identification, 7. The ability to accept machinegun parts is considered because both the GCA and the NFA regulate machinegun receivers as machineguns. See 18 U.S.C. 54. The term potential crime scenes is used because ATF does not know if the firearm being traced by the law enforcement agency was found at a crime scene as opposed to one recovered by them that was stolen or otherwise not from at the scene of a crime. This proposed rule would add definitions for complete weapon and complete muffler or silencer device to 27 CFR 478.11 and 479.11. See 18 U.S.C. section 40:1788; Me. For convenience, this notice of proposed rulemaking uses machinegun except when quoting a source to the contrary. .

Factors relevant in making this determination, with no single one controlling, include the following: (a) Time, i.e., how long it takes to finish the process; (b) Ease, i.e., how difficult it is to do so; (c) Expertise, i.e., what knowledge and skills are required; (d) Equipment, i.e., what tools are required; (e) Availability, i.e., whether additional parts are required, and how easily they can be obtained; (g) Scope, i.e., the extent to which the subject of the process must be changed to finish it; and. 18 U.S.C. In making this determination, the Director will consider the following factors, with no single factor being controlling: (i) Which component the manufacturer intended to be the frame or receiver; (ii) Which component the firearms industry commonly considers to be the frame or receiver with respect to the same or similar firearms; (iii) How the component fits within the overall design of the firearm when assembled; (iv) The design and function of the fire control components to be housed or integrated; (v) Whether the component may permanently, conspicuously, and legibly be identified with a serial number and other markings in a manner not susceptible of being readily obliterated, altered, or removed; (vi) Whether classifying the particular component is consistent with the legislative intent of the Act and this part; and. 2010) (The direct tracing of the chain of custody of firearms involved in crimes is one useful means by which serial numbers assist law enforcement.

Description and Number of Respondents: The current number of respondents is 9,056 firearm manufacturers, but this proposed rule would have a one-time surge for an unknown select few licensed manufacturers. PMFs must be identified by placing on each part (or specific part(s) previously determined by the Director) of a weapon defined as a frame or receiver, the same serial number, but must not duplicate any serial number(s) placed by the licensee on any other firearm. In the event the licensee records a duplicate entry with the same firearm and acquisition information, whether to close out an old record book or for any other reason, the licensee shall record a reference to the date and location of the subsequent entry (e.g., date of new entry, book name/number, page number, and line number) as the disposition. Penal Code section 23900; Colo. Rev. for better understanding how a document is structured but This would be followed by supplements that further explain the meaning of the term frame or receiver for certain firearm designs and configurations, as follows: (a) Firearm muffler or silencer frame or receiver; (b) split or modular frame or receiver, also followed by examples of the frames or receivers for common firearm designs that are distinguishable because of differences in firing cycle, method of operation, or physical design characteristics; (c) partially complete, disassembled, or inoperable frame or receiver; and (d) destroyed frame or receiver. [26] Code Pub. nothing in this rule would restrict persons not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms from making their own firearms at home without markings solely for personal use (not for sale or distribution) in accordance with Federal, State, and local law. [44] section 527.050; La. This alternative would grandfather in all existing firearms that would not meet the serialization standard for partially complete and split frames or receivers. This definition and factors considered in determining whether a weapon, including a weapon parts kit, or unfinished or damaged frame or receiver may readily be assembled, completed, converted, or restored to function are based on case law interpreting the terms may readily be converted to expel a projectile in 18 U.S.C. 17. Ann. Because of the difficulties and expense of marking and registering small individual components used to commercially manufacture a complete muffler or silencer device with little law enforcement benefit, this proposed rule would allow qualified manufacturers to transfer parts defined as a firearm muffler or silencer to other qualified manufacturers without immediately identifying or registering them. By engraving, casting, stamping (impressing), or otherwise conspicuously placing or causing to be engraved, cast, stamped (impressed) or otherwise placed on each part (or specific part(s) previously determined by the Director) defined as a frame or receiver thereof, a serial number, in a manner not susceptible of being readily obliterated, altered, or removed. |, 14.5s and 16s getting prepped for more build, All the gray #modernmateriel #modmat15 #cerakot, Fresh batch of Patrols headed out to another local, Last week was an amazing time at the Police and Se, #modernmateriel #modmat15 #snipergreen #blackenedc, PB & Grey at 923(d)(1)(F) (requiring license applicants to certify compliance with the requirements of State and local law applicable to the conduct of business). For more specific details regarding the need for regulation, please refer to the specific chapters pertaining to each provision of this proposed rule. For many years, ATF has acted on voluntarily requests from persons, particularly manufacturers who are developing new products, by issuing determinations or classifications whether an item is a firearm or armor piercing ammunition as defined in the GCA or NFA. A person who, as a service performed on existing firearms not for sale or distribution by a licensee, devotes time, attention, and labor to repairing or customizing firearms, making or fitting special barrels, stocks, or trigger mechanisms to firearms, or identifying firearms in accordance with this chapter, as a regular course of trade or business with the principal objective of livelihood or profit, but such term shall not include a person who occasionally repairs or customizes firearms, or occasionally makes or fits special barrels, stocks, or trigger mechanisms to firearms; Firearm.

ATF considered various alternatives when preparing this proposed rule. documents in the last year. 62-169 (IRS RRU), 1962-2 C.B. To provide guidance on how the term readily is used to classify firearms, including frame or receiver parts kits or weapon parts kits sold with incomplete or unassembled frames or receivers, the NPRM adds this term to 27 CFR 478.11 and 479.11 and defined as a process that is fairly or reasonably efficient, quick, and easy, but not necessarily the most efficient, speedy, or easy process. It would further list factors relevant in making this determining to include: (a) Time, i.e., how long it takes to finish the process; (b) ease, i.e., how difficult it is to do so; (c) expertise, i.e., what knowledge and skills are required; (d) equipment, i.e., what tools are required; (e) availability, i.e., whether additional parts are required, and how easily they can be obtained; (f) expense, i.e., how much it costs; (g) scope, i.e., the extent to which the subject of the process must be changed to finish it; and (h) feasibility, i.e., whether the process would damage or destroy the subject of the process, or cause it to malfunction. This includes marking these parts with serial numbers for tracing purposes, recording these parts as firearms in required records, and running a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) background check when individuals purchase or acquire them.

Of the potential number of licensed dealers and licensed pawnbrokers, ATF estimates that those directly affected would be a one-time surge of 5,298 licensed dealers, 710 licensed pawnbrokers, and 36 non-licensed dealers that would be affected. Although under 478.11 and 479.11 singular terms in the regulations must always be read to include the plural form, and vice versa, these changes are necessary to ensure that more than one name, manufacturer, importer, or serial number, if appropriate, is recorded when completing the NFA forms. Except as provided in paragraph (a)(4)(iv) of this section, licensed manufacturers must identify each part, including a replacement part, defined as a frame or receiver, machinegun, or firearm muffler or firearm silencer that is not a component part of a complete weapon or device at the time it is sold, shipped, or otherwise disposed of no later than seven days following the date of completion of the active manufacturing process for the part, or prior to disposition, whichever is sooner.

This proposed rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local, and Tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100 million or more in any one year and it will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. There would also be an amendment to 27 CFR 478.50(a) to allow all licensees, including manufacturers and importers, to store paper records and forms with no open disposition entries and with no dispositions recorded within 20 years at a separate warehouse, which would be considered part of the business premises for this purpose and subject to inspection. See Public Law 90-351, sec. Second, the marks enable law enforcement officers to trace specific firearms used in crimes from the manufacturer or importer to individual purchasers, and to identify particular firearms that have been lost or stolen. Ohio May 16, 2019) (same); cf. This change would help avoid multiple markings on firearms that could be confusing to law enforcement and alleviate concerns of some manufacturers and importers regarding serial number duplication when firearms are remanufactured or reimported. section 2C:39-3(n) (prohibiting possession of firearms manufactured or assembled without serial number); N.Y. Licensees would have 60 days to mark PMFs already in inventory after a final rule becomes effective. 23. A licensed manufacturer qualified under part 479 may transfer a part defined as a firearm muffler or firearm silencer to another qualified manufacturer without immediately identifying or registering such part provided that, upon receipt, it is actively used to manufacture a complete muffler or silencer device.

(1) Marking of ammunition. This proposed rule would not change the existing requirements for size and depth of markings in 27 CFR 478.92(a)(1) and 479.102(a), but for sake of clarity, consolidates them into a standalone paragraph along with the existing method of measuring the size and depth of markings set forth in 27 CFR 478.92(a)(5) and 479.102(b). Congress and the Attorney General have delegated the responsibility for administering and enforcing the GCA and NFA to the Director of ATF, subject to the direction of the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General.

Any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; The frame or receiver of any such weapon; Any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or. on Therefore, to reflect existing case law, this proposed rule would add a sentence at the end of the definition of firearm in 27 CFR 478.11 providing that [t]he term shall include a weapon parts kit that is designed to or may readily be assembled, completed, converted, or restored to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive., Nonetheless, this amendment is not intended to affect the classification of a weapon, including a weapon parts kit, in which each frame or receiver (as defined in this proposed rule) of such weapon is properly destroyed in accordance with ATF standards. See Cal. at (a)(21)(D); 132 Cong. The Public Inspection page may also In addition to Federal law, 18 U.S.C. Under the proposed rule, FFLs would be required to mark PMFs within 7 days of the firearm being received by a licensee, or before disposition, whichever first occurs. In United States v. Biswell, 406 U.S. 311, 315-16 (1972), the Supreme Court explained that close scrutiny of [firearms] traffic is undeniably of central importance to federal efforts to prevent violent crime and to assist the States in regulating the firearms traffic within their borders. (iv) Size and depth of markings. New Definition of Firearm Frame or Receiver, 2. The FFA and implementing regulations defined the term firearm to mean any weapon, by whatever name known, which is designed to expel a projectile or projectiles by the action of an explosive and a firearm muffler or firearm silencer, or any part or parts of such weapon. Public Law 75-785, 52 Stat. Although under 478.11 and 479.11 singular terms in the regulations must always be read to include the plural form, and vice versa, these changes are necessary to ensure that more than one name, manufacturer, country, importer, or serial number, if appropriate, is recorded when completing importation forms. 17-A section 705(E); Md. (c) Partially complete, disassembled, or inoperable frame or receiver. No. (5) Period of time to identify firearms. For purposes of this definition, the term partially complete, as it modifies frame or receiver, means a forging, casting, printing, extrusion, machined body or similar article that has reached a stage in manufacture where it is clearly identifiable as an unfinished component part of a weapon. 3, 2018), https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/03/us/politics/ar-15-americas-rifle.html (Once the patent expired in 1977, it opened the way for dozens of weapons manufacturers to produce their own models, using the same technology. 22. There shall also be placed on the same surface of the package in block lettering at least 1/8 inch in height the words FOR GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES OR EXPORTATION ONLY. The statements required by this subparagraph shall be on a contrasting background.

Rul. This language would supersede ATF Ruling 2013-3 as it applies to licensed manufacturers and importers, but the ruling would remain effective for makers of NFA firearms. Commonly referred to as ghost guns, these privately made firearms (PMFs), when made for personal use, are not required by the GCA to have a serial number placed on the frame or receiver, making it difficult for law enforcement to determine where, by whom, or when they were manufactured, and to whom they were sold or otherwise disposed. (a) Each licensed manufacturer shall record the name of the manufacturer(s), importer(s) (if any) and/or privately made firearm (if privately made in the United States), type, model, caliber or gauge, and serial number(s) of each firearm manufactured or otherwise acquired (including a frame or receiver to be disposed of separately), the date of such manufacture or other acquisition, and if otherwise acquired, the name and address or the name and license number of the person from whom it was received. 3d 1038, 1041 (N.D.
