FAQ
Many guns have no serial number at all (serial numbers were not required in the US until 1968, and are still not required everywhere).
Possession of an unregistered firearm is also covered by federal laws and can also be charged as a federal offense. 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d) provides that it is a crime for a person to receive or possess a firearm not registered to them in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
In addition, because ghost guns do not have a serial number, they cannot be traced when they are used to commit a crime, preventing law enforcement from effectively investigating violent crimes. Ghost guns are the fastest-growing gun safety problem facing our country.
PMFs are also made without a serial number placed by a licensed manufacturer at the time the firearm was produced. However, not all PMFs are illegal and not all firearms are required to have a serial number. ATF has compiled some information on the different types of PMFs and things to consider while owning one.
The lower receiver is the part of the AR 15 that contains the fire control group (the trigger, disconnector, hammer, and fire selector), so this is the only portion of the AR that must be marked with a serial number, manufacturer's name, and so on.
Are firearms that were made prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968 required to be marked with a serial number by a licensee? No, unless remanufactured after the enactment of the GCA, October 22, 1968.
If the firearm has no serial number, and never had a serial number, the lack of a serial number renders the firearm illegal. Except a non-NFA home manufacture that you have no intent to sell, which we will explain later. Suppose there is a firearm which was manufactured POST October 22, 1968.
