Springfield seems to have corrected this problem. I have around 500 rounds through mine, excellent trigger, no bite, decent sights, no jams.....yet.

Hi YEARS AGO, the BATF would put on a new serial number if you turned it in.  A friend of mine did that on a 16 gauge that he found somewhere in water (if memory serves) before 1980.  No clue what they'd do now.

I've had read where a BATF S# can be applied (though I don't know the procedure) or if that is still the case (laws change).
I believe it pertained to a gun that never had a serial number.
There was a time when a number was not a universal requirement.

An FN was not one of those, the gun in question had grip tape where the shaved S# should have been.
The gun could not be legally sold without the S#. The consigner/possessor was so informed.

The possessor (I use that, in leu of OWNER  :-\) was given the benefit of doubt and was advised to disassemble the gun for parts and destroy the frame.
Having it is a felony.
