How do I log the “Serial Number” of a C&R firearm if the serial numbers do not all match?
Use the serial number on the receiver. The serial number of the firearm is always the one on the receiver—The receiver is the firearm as far as the legalities of transfer go. Sometimes importers will assign their own serial numbers. For example, a Russian M44 will usually have Cyrillic characters in the original serial number. Importers may assign their own serial number that they can put into their computer using the Roman alphabet. It will usually be an approximation of the Cyrillic serial number, but not always. Whenever you see an importer’s serial number on the firearm, you should log it rather than the original.
