           finished  frames  or  receivers,  and  unfinished  frames  or
           receivers.
  (1)  For  the purposes of this section, "unfinished frame or receiver"
means any material that does not constitute the frame or receiver  of  a
firearm,  rifle or shotgun but that has been shaped or formed in any way
for the purpose of becoming the frame or receiver of a firearm, rifle or
shotgun, and which may readily  be  made  into  a  functional  frame  or
receiver  through  milling, drilling or other means.  The term shall not
include  material  that  has  had  its size or external shape altered to
facilitate transportation or storage or has had its chemical composition

  (a) engrave, cast, stamp  or  otherwise  conspicuously  place  both  a
unique serial number and his or her name (or recognized abbreviation) on
such  firearm, rifle, shotgun, finished frame or receiver, or unfinished
frame or receiver, in a manner that satisfies or  exceeds  the  require-
ments  imposed  on  licensed  importers  and  manufacturers  pursuant to
section (i) of Section 923 of Title 18 of the  United  States  Code  and
regulations issued pursuant thereto at the time of such assembly; and
  (b) register with the division of state police any such firearm, rifle
or shotgun, finished frame or receiver, or unfinished frame or receiver.
  Any  person  required  to  be  a gunsmith licensed pursuant to section
400.00 of this chapter who fails to comply with the provisions  of  this
section shall be guilty of a class E felony.
