It gets better. My first year in Homicide (Jurassic Period) I learned from the crime lab how the professionals file tips of firing pins, file extractor claws, ejectors. breech faces and run a rat tail file around the crown of a muzzle to eliminate signatures, stipple serial number areas before removing and renumbering so the numbers could not be raised. How do they think that a laser marking is going to change that? Anything but criminal control. They're all nuts.
