Ja... so we know that's a lie... albeit a seemingly harmless one.

The truth is probably that they used a technique to examine the compressed metal particles under where the original s/n was stamped on either the slide or the barrel or both to reveal the original serial number.

Nope! The nature of the rifling has nothing to do with it. The reason it can't be ballistically linked is because... well... that's not how it works.

I initially thought they will give the firearm back to me to take it for gunsmithing myself, but they say they do it themselves and give it back to me with a serial number starting with the letter "W".

Is it as simple as "here's your gun back" or do you have to go through the whole reapply process etc?

The FA is still on your profile listed as either stolen or lost. They will updated the system with the status and WR number.

Take it and resell it if you don't want to keep it.

If it's still in good working condition, just get it cerakoted and be gtg. She's a tool after all and let's be honest - scars make for good stories!

Nope. But not because of the rifling... more so because there is no verifiable science behind tool mark engravings.
