New build !

[samot]

I put this in the NFA section because ultimatly it will end up being an SBR
I am building an clone HK51k pistol, i am starting with a bare PTR .308 reciever, on 1 side of the reciever it hase the letters PTR & thier scorpion logo. I want to tig weld over this scorpion logo & the PTR letters grind it down smooth it off & have it restamped HK51k.
My question is ..... is there any state law prohibiting me from removing these markings off my reciever ?
I will not be altering the serial # in any way !!

i will post picks of the parts before i send them to the smith

I think you can take the logo off but the mfg has to stay from what I understand

This is the side i want to remove the markings, it just says PTR-91 & has the logo !!!!!

the other side has
PTR-91 INC
Farmington CT
U.S.A.
.308 cal

so i would just be removing a (out of 2) model # & the logo, is this a state No No ????? federally i thought i could remove all but the serial #
thanks for any and all help

You are good to go as long as the SN & mfg are not changed. If the part does not have a SN, it does not matter what you do with it.

That's what I thought. I was thinking since you are the manufacturer of the gun on the F1 that you could weld over everything but the serial # and remark as you please. I could be wrong though.

On another note, why not go the HK51KB route? Can't beat a beltfed SBR. Then you'd have a really badass gun!!!

Model MUST STAY as well... thats the way its logged into books... manufacturer model and serial number.... things is MUST say to be legit would be the manufacturer WITH their city and state PTR-91 and serial number...

Then i think i should be OK , here is the info on the left side of reciever
PTR-91 INC = manufacturer
Farmington CT= city & state
U.S.A.
.308 cal
serial # is on top of reciever, i guess i could restamp PTR-91 under were it says .308 cal , or remove the .308 cal & stamp the PTR-91 were the .308 cal was ???? .............
Hmmmmmm

Ya, im familiar with Nohair... he has some badass toys.....
Have you priced one of those feed ramp mechanisms ? Those are basically feed ramps for the HK 21 series rifles !!!! They go for about $2500 for just the feed ramp mech !!!!!!!!!!!!!! if its the swing down type...
I just ordered a 50 round .308 drum for my 51s, so it will be 50 rounds cool
Im gonna wait on the belt feds till i do my HK 21 SBR

I appriciate everyones input.
However, i am recieving some conflicting info..... Ive had 3 SOTs tell me federally, i can remove everything but the serial #
Wish a definative answer was easier than this.

There are different rules reguarding Title I firearms and Title II firearms. Look under Markings in both sets of regulations.
