Manufacturer, Serial, Model, Caliber, and Type
-
This setting is not fully compliant with 27 CFR § 478.92(a), but it does allow for matched sets to be acquired.

Note: 27 CFR § 478.92(a) is for the manufacturer, importer, or the FFL placing the serial number on the item. If you are not placing the serial number on the item, you need to record what is on the item, even if it’s a duplicate of another item. If you are the manufacturer, importer, or the FFL placing the serial number on the item, you should not have a duplicate serial number.
