This gets really hairy when using 80% lowers which is another facet that I do not deign to give advice on. Otherwise, the lower can say whatever it says, and not be an issue, because any lower that can be transferred legally already has a factory engraved serial number. (There are requirements written into the law that define the size and depth minimums of this engraving, you can't just scratch in a number and call it good.)
I'm not too sure about this statement. I don't think the marking of the lower only applies to the 80% lower. I could be totally wrong, but I would go above and beyond to ensure the markings were correct. Consult a real lawyer.
