The model, caliber or gauge, importer, manufacturer, importers address, and, in the case of imported firearms, where the firearm was made, have to be engraved, cast, or stamped at least .003 of depth and in letters no less than 1/16 of size. It has to be placed conspicuously, and be on the frame, barrel or receiver.

I've imported guns for years, and if I could have left it off, I would have, plain and simple. Why anyone would think manufacturers would spend money to put the information there unless it was required under penalty of law is beyond me.
Best,

Ted, I wasn't clear that I was talking about all the junk referring to the manual that a lot of gun makers have decided to "decorate" their gun barrels with. You know, where it basically says "See the section of the manual where we tell you how to not shoot yourself."

The importation information has to be there and is...it is, however, tastefully done, not zapped out of a nicely blued finish in block letters and gold washed.
