It doesn't have be running right along the barrel does it? Cant it be under on the barrel flat or something where you don't see it whilst shooting?
(Also, I know that we have discussed this before, but if an individual imports a gun then they do not have to put all of those markings on it, that is one reason to bring a gun in yourself rather than going through an importer.)
Why anyone would think manufacturers would spend money to put the information there unless it was required under penalty of law is beyond me.
Obviously some manufacturers spend money on wording that is not required by law. The 28ga 870 that I have sitting right here reads
WARNING-READ INSTRUCTION BOOK FOR SAFE OPERATION - FREE FROM

on one side of the barrel. I am pretty sure that the law does not require that on the barrel since my Gold Label did not have all of that...
