All modern OS are now using NTFS for 2 decades now.

Hmm. I recently bought a game camera. Following the instructions, I inserted and formatted (using the camera's utility) a 32G microSD card. After use, I pulled it out and stuffed it in my Linux system. Linux says exFAT.

I suspect that a lot of smaller devices will avoid NTFS for its complexity and go with FAT, exFAT, etc. for their relative simplicity.

Putting the serial number on the barrel and regulating that makes far more sense,

Not really. Barrels are consumables. They need occasional replacement.

you canâ(TM)t even rifle the barrel properly without specialized equipment thatâ(TM)s not run of the mill CNC.

I've seen some rifling jigs made from all-thread, bolts and an angle iron frame. The trick is just to pull the rifling button through a piece of bored rod. Homemade buttons made from hardened tool steel will do for a production run in the dozens of parts. Carbide is only needed for actual commercial production runs.

And then there are home made EDM machines.

Just clear them out, you say? But these are "vulnerable people" living in RVs with nowhere else to go, according to our blue state legislature and city government.
