Alright, after much research it appears that it is federal regulation that the import name be on top of the barrel for new guns, apparently they can still get away with engraving under the forearm on older guns being imported. I spoke with someone at NECG and she said that they were audited by the ATF some time ago and that they were cited for not being in compliance because they were doing their engraving of new imported aya's under the forearm.
