By the way, the firing has to be done at the cobis center by the state trooper.
I am sure they do not come with fired casings. We have the cobis done before putting them in the case. With special orders, or if someone asks, we will sell them the firearm then they have to wait until we can get them fired. We have to make an appointment. Like I said, we drive 100 miles for this. I would give the dealer a break.
I wonder how the new yorker's would react to a law demanding a record of every book you bought.
How can it be legal for a state (or any) government to compel citizens to surrender property that is rightly their own with no legal basis to do so?
Yeah, and they probably throw the brass and bullets straight in the trash when you leave.How quickly can the BG strip his auto-loader and swap-out the firing-pin? Or simply "speed-hone" the tip of it with a handy Swiss-army-tool? I routinely fire and retain two rounds from all my hand-guns, using wet-pack, and hand deliver one set of brass and bullet to the local P.D. When I sell (very seldom!) the gun the I.D. evidence I have made goes with it, as does a info-only note to the P.D.
So we have established then that every firearm is unique - no two are alike? I would have to raise the BS flag on that one.In the above example, the match is confirmed by the striations left by the edges of the firing-pin hole in the breechface (when a cartridge is fired, the internal pressure forces the primer cup back against the breechface, and even slightly into the firing pin hole), so as the pistol functions, and the rear of the barrel drops down out of battery in the slide, the "wipe" motion leaves the same pattern of lines on each primer/case. In the above picture, the crime scene exhibit is on the left, and the test fire is on the right; the short horizontal markings on either side of the vertical white line are the ones that confirm these as being fired in the same pistol. You can also see matches made on the basis of plain breechface markings (through machining marks left when the slide is milled), on the basis of firing pin machining marks, on the basis of ejector markings, and on the basis of chamber marks.

Calm down dude.
Technology is still advancing in this field. There are many types of imaging equipment coming out that show more 3-dimensional images and brings out the most microscopic tool marks. Even if the parts are machined together, they will look similar but there will be minute microscopic differences. When I toured the Remington factory in NY, one of the engineers giving us the tour explained this in detail.
Firearms Examiners have to go through rigorous training. Not all examiners know everything about metallurgy and machining, but the best of them know a lot about it.
I don't know why people on here are demonizing them, many of the forensic scientists I know are die hard gun enthusiasts.
Earlier I may have said that bullet matching has convicted people, I should have said that it is part of damning evidence to help convict criminals. I believe that there are also instances where toolmark identification has proven people innocent, but I need to look that up.
eminent domain: the government's right to seize any private property. this is just another example of the slowly creeping blanket of facism that seems to be moving across the country.Is there any kind of similar testing done in New York when applying for a marriage license?
The IRS does it all the time.
