Serialize home built AK

[Marauder2003]

Can a homemade AK built from flat steel and jigs be serialized? Meaning a unique code is stamped onto the main body/receiver.

Yes.

If its fore sale, the engraving has to meet certain criteria

For personal use, you can engrave most anything you want onto that flat. I'd avoid any banned by name models or designations

If it was initially built for yourself and some time later a situation forces you to sell it, ATF has a set of rules on what and how it needs to be engraved in order to transfer it to another person

^^^That's it right there. Definitely don't use any model numbers or names on the banned list.

Usual type is:

Manufactuer
City, State
Caliber
Model
Serial

And the serial number has to be distinguishable from any other markings or numbers on the gun.

the AK builder site has a vendor that sells etching kits to properly mark selectors..... you can use the same simple electrolysis method to add your manufacture info...

Or pay a shop to do the laser engraving.... Metal Stamps will warp the receiver

DIY tutorial

Any way to do it after it's been parked or painted?

I know this is stupid but I've always wondered what ATF would say if you did something silly like call it the penis 69 model or made the serial number Penis69.

Well it's a rifle/pistol platform soooo, "how big is it?"
