Definition of “Frame or Receiver” and Identification of Firearms​

On May 7, 2021, the Attorney General signed ATF proposed rule 2021R-05, Definition of “Frame or Receiver” and Identification of Firearms. The goal of the proposed rule is to ensure the proper marking, recordkeeping, and traceability of all firearms manufactured, imported, acquired and disposed by federal firearms licensees.
Please note that this is the text of the proposed rule as signed by the Attorney General, but the official version of the proposed rule will be as it is published in the Federal Register.

Summary
This proposed rule would:

• Provide new definitions of “firearm frame or receiver” and “frame or receiver”
• Amend the definition of:
  • “firearm” to clarify when a firearm parts kit is considered a “firearm,” and
  • “gunsmith” to clarify the meaning of that term and to explain that gunsmiths may be licensed solely to mark firearms for unlicensed persons.
• Provide definitions for:
  • “complete weapon,”
  • “complete muffler or silencer device,”
  • “privately made firearm (PMF),” and
  • “readily” for purposes of clarity given advancements in firearms technology.
• Provide a definition of “importer’s or manufacturer’s serial number”
• Provide a deadline for marking firearms manufactured.
• Clarify marking requirements for firearm mufflers and silencers.
• Amend the format for records of manufacture/acquisition and disposition by manufacturers and importers.
• Amend the time period records must be retained at the licensed premises.

So are they saying that all home built firearms will need to be brought to a "qualified" person and be serialized?

Am I reading this correctly?

I believe so. It looks like this is the Biden admin way of sneaking the “ghost gun” BS in. It’s unlikely he’ll get it through Congress so he’ll attempt to back door it through the ATF using his lackey‘s Garland and Chipman.

There is some ambiguous wording in the silencer language that looks like solvent traps would have to be serialized.
