Guys it seems in recent years, more and more “QR” codes are showing up on guns. QR codes are the little dot matrix square codes that can be scanned and looked up with a computer database.
Supposedly, this is done by manufacturers for inventory and manufacturing purposes. I’ve seen it for years in the military, usually in the form of stickers, but it seems civilian companies like Remington, Marlin, H&R, Colt, etc. use or have used them:
I personally think they are ugly and look totally out of place on something like a revolver or levergun. Once the firearm is in the owner’s hands, it serves no real purpose. The guns still come with serial numbers and the scannable QR codes usually just give basic info about the model name. Seems the factories could just use a QR sticker the owner could peel off later?
What do you guys think of this? Probably a minor concern for most, but I’d like them to go away.
Thoughts?
