Stamping barrels

Unless they're an 07 and have it in their books as mfg, there's no requirement to indicate the caliber or maker.
If you’ll ask your search engine if a barrel MUST be marked you’ll find that ATF requires it.
I can’t get the file to upload or I would show it here.

I can do it but the postage alone would be pretty high. There must be a gunsmith or trophy shop or jeweler near you.

I haven’t read through the whole thing but it does appear that the caliber must be marked on the barrel or frame.

Probably is, hoping someone in my area will chime in. I could and have marked mine before with small number letter punches but I'd like to have a few done better than I can do it. No doubt you could do it better also, yes shipping would deter.

Only markings required,,manufacture,and serial numbers on receiver.If you look a lot of AR receivers are now marked Multi-Caliber.

Apparently when I said I didn’t read the whole thing the title was part of that, LOL..
I don’t think it’s a requirement when chambering a barrel. If it were a requirement, how would a gunsmith label the countless, nameless wildcats out there. Every tight neck, ground down and sharpened reamer, (let alone one-off custom reamers) is likely out of spec for the named parent and therefore technically “not” that cartridge anymore.

I use a magic marker on my unmarked barrels. .......and no, I’m not too proud or entering any beauty contests. Practicality is my main focus.
That said, every new barrel is marked by Bob Green for cartridge and neck size. My next ones will be marked with manufacture and throating dimensions. I’m starting to lose track.

Go get a brother label maker, or a magic marker. Every gunsmith that has the capability to chamber a barrel should have the tools to mark them- that being said some do not for liability purposes and some just mark the caliber with no company name. Im thinking of not marking mine from now on actually. If everybody wasnt so quick to fire up a lawsuit we’d be a lot better off.

California will soon require that to be stamped on all babies foreheads.
