Class 2/3 InformationFAX Forms For Quick Transfers How ToA class 1/2/3 FFL can fill out a BATF signature affidavit which when sent to BATF by US Mail, will allow future form 2/3/5 forms to be Faxed in rather than sent in via US mail, thus speeding up the transfer to roughly 30 days. TIP: When Faxing forms, make sure 2 copies of the Faxed form are included, just like you include 2 copies of the form when submitting via US Mail. This will increase the speed of transfer.The following overview is for Class 2 manufacturers (Type 07/SOT).Bound BooksHow Many Bound Books?You can have 1 or more bound books, there are no limits on how many. It is common for a C2 to have 1 for title 1 firearms and 1 or more for title 2 firearms. You can have one for suppressors, another for machine guns, another for everything else. If you plan on making a lot of suppressors, you could have one for each model of suppressors. If you get a lot of firearms from a manufacturer that you then convert, you could have a bound book for that manufacturer only. If you will be making 150+ of one model, a bound book would be advisable. Bottom line, make it manageable. What is Required In a Bound Book?Read the regulations 27 CFR 178.122, figure 1. Marking FirearmsThis information is a summary of the required regulations. Read the regulations 27 CFR 178 How Do I Mark?27 CFR 178.92 requires licensed importers and manufacturers to conspicuously place the following identification markings on the frame, receiver, or barrel of each firearm imported or manufactured in a manner not susceptible of being readily obliterated, altered, or removed:

Semi-automatic Assault FirearmsIn the case of any semiautomatic assault weapon manufactured after September 13, 1994, the regulations also require that the frame or receiver be marked "RESTRICTED LAW ENFORCEMENT/GOVERNMENT USE ONLY" or, in the case of weapons manufactured for export, "FOR EXPORT ONLY" (27 CFR 178.92(a)(2)). How Deep and High For Markings?Serial Number: A minimum height of 1/16 inch and a minimum depth of .003 inch for serial numbers. All other requires markings: A minimum depth of .003 inch for all other required markings with no height limitation. Exceptions

(a) You, as a manufacturer, importer, or maker of a firearm, must legibly identify the firearm as follows: (1) By engraving, casting, stamping (impressing), or otherwise conspicuously placing or causing to be engraved, cast, stamped (impressed) or placed on the frame or receiver thereof an individual serial number. The serial number must be placed in a manner not susceptible of being readily obliterated, altered, or removed, and must not duplicate any serial number placed by you on any other firearm. For firearms manufactured, imported, or made on and after January 30, 2002, the engraving, casting, or stamping (impressing) of the serial number must be to a minimum depth of .003 inch and in a print size no smaller than 1/16 inch; and (2) By engraving, casting, stamping (impressing), or otherwise conspicuously placing or causing to be engraved, cast, stamped (impressed), or placed on the frame, receiver, or barrel thereof certain additional information. This information must be placed in a manner not susceptible of being readily obliterated, altered or removed. For firearms manufactured, imported, or made on and after January 30, 2002, the engraving, casting, or stamping (impressing) of this information must be to a minimum depth of .003 inch. The additional information includes: (i) The model, if such designation has been made; (ii) The caliber or gauge; (iii) Your name (or recognized abbreviation) and also, when applicable, the name of the foreign manufacturer or maker; (iv) In the case of a domestically made firearm, the city and State (or recognized abbreviation thereof) where you as the manufacturer maintain your place of business, or where you, as the maker, made the firearm; and [[Page 189]] (v) In the case of an imported firearm, the name of the country in which it was manufactured and the city and State (or recognized abbreviation thereof) where you as the importer maintain your place of business. For additional requirements relating to imported firearms, see Customs regulations at 19 CFR part 134. (b) The depth of all markings required by this section will be measured from the flat surface of the metal and not the peaks or ridges. The height of serial numbers required by paragraph (a)(1) of this section will be measured as the distance between the latitudinal ends of the character impression bottoms (bases). (c) The Director may authorize other means of identification upon receipt of a letter application from you, submitted in duplicate, showing that such other identification is reasonable and will not hinder the effective administration of this part. (d) In the case of a destructive device, the Director may authorize other means of identifying that weapon upon receipt of a letter application from you, submitted in duplicate, showing that engraving, casting, or stamping (impressing) such a weapon would be dangerous or impracticable. (e) A firearm frame or receiver that is not a component part of a complete weapon at the time it is sold, shipped, or otherwise disposed of by you must be identified as required by this section. (f)(1) Any part defined as a machine gun, muffler, or silencer for the purposes of this part that is not a component part of a complete firearm at the time it is sold, shipped, or otherwise disposed of by you must be identified as required by this section. (2) The Director may authorize other means of identification of parts defined as machine guns other than frames or receivers and parts defined as mufflers or silencers upon receipt of a letter application from you, submitted in duplicate, showing that such other identification is reasonable and will not hinder the effective administration of this part.
