serial number

Detectives also found over $2,000 in cash and a loaded handgun without a serial number, known as a “ghost gun.”

Without the new regulations adopted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives or ATF, “anyone could buy a kit online and assemble a fully functional gun in minutes — no background check, records, or serial number required,” she said.

The suspect also wore a face mask almost constantly, and Mr Mangione was found with a fake driving licence and an untraceable "ghost gun" – a firearm assembled by the owner without a serial number, which police said may have been 3D-printed.

Ghost guns don’t require a background check and don’t come with a serial number, making them nearly untraceable.

What they hoped was the famed Lockheed Electra 10E Special, serial number 1055, turned out to be an “unfortunate” geologic formation, according to a company statement.
