I *always* engrave the lower since the ATF considers the lower to be the firearm in an AR platform. And engraving the upper on an AR would really put a bind on being able to resell it at some point in the future. Engrave the lower and then swap out a whole host of barrels at will without issue. Engraving the upper: You are basically making something that is not a firearms into a firearm with very expensive transfer requirements. I'd love to know the *name* of the person who gave out this directive...

I have an MGI QBC upper I use on my M16, I can see maybe engraving that upper because you can litterally swap out barrels (different calibers even) and matching BCG in minutes. However I agree that the SN part should be engraved.
