Abstract
Serialized parts, such as silencers, are identified using serialized plates permanently affixed to the parts by welding, brazing, riveting, pinning and welding, or by other permanent techniques. Methods of effecting repair or replacement of silencers and silencer parts involve removing the serialized plate by drilling or machining out the welds, and permanently affixing the serialized plate to a replacement part.
