Is this normal for ident marking?

I'm not sure I'd send anyone to do something that important. Whether it was just a simple drop off or not.

Idk if getting a lower engraved is really a big deal. Especially if a trustee is running the errand

Other than the fact that if it gets messed up you have to deal with fixing the engraving or starting a new trust

It's his wife.. If you cannot trust your wife with something like that, who can you trust?

A new trust? Do you know how this works? It would be a new lower at the worst.

[Chili]

I still don't understand why they would need all that. They're just engraving some info on it. It's not like they are handing over a complete SBR or anything.

I don't know exactly how it works. I don't mean "new trust" I guess that wasn't the correct way to say it. But isn't there a bunch of hassle to change everything on the trust for a new lower?

Not at all unless you have already filed for the stamp and paid your money. The way it should be done is that you have the lower engraved before you file for the stamp and pay your money. This way if the lower is fucked beyond fixing at the engravers you are only out the cost of the lower. If you have already filed and paid you are now possibly out the cost of the lower and the $200 for the stamp. Worse case scenario you are out roughly $300 depending on what lower you have.

CYA scenario. Dumb yes, but I get it.

[Nash B.]

Yeah, but CYA from what?

[YALE]

Yeah, but CYA from what?

From having to get a new stamp.

Prosecution or litigation would be my guess. Obviously they know that the gun is a registered NFA item. They probably just want to make sure that it's going back to someone it belongs to and not some illegal transfer to someone else.

No they don't know shit. The item in question is not nfa registered and is not listed on my schedule A. I have the intent to do so but I may never do it as far as anyone is concerned.

I paid for a service that anyone with that machine can provide without any special license or permissions. Just the idea of them fact checking me right at the end pisses me off. They have no right to know what my intent is with that lower.

The fact that the business refused to return it to anyone prior to receiving the trust infuriates me.

Then dont go back there. Their business to cover any of their service provided to the fullest extent to which they feel necessary. It's relatively safe to assume that a trust engraving on an AR lower is either NFA or going to be. If it isn't NFA, your trust should prove that and they can give it to whomever they please. If it is NFA they'll be more than happy to give it to whomever specified in the trust.

[Darren M]

Original question, is there anything they can do to fuck him over?

Also, call the store, ask for the manager and calmly ask why this new policy. That's what I'd do.
Just my 2¢.

I will not, I would rather do it myself with an electric pen than give that douche another dime. For the record a Schedule A can be edited by anyone to show anything. It is no more a means of proof than me writing it on a piece of paper I just wiped my ass with.
