This video clarifies the ATF's new rule regarding 80% lowers, now termed Privately Made Firearms (PMFs). It explains that individuals are not required to serialize their self-made firearms unless those firearms are taken into the inventory of a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) for more than a same-day repair or adjustment. The responsibility for marking and serializing falls solely on the FFL.

William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, provides an expert legal interpretation of the ATF's Final Rule 2021R-05F concerning unfinished frames and receivers.
