Well, federally, you cannot just stamp a serial number. It is illegal to alter a numner or put one on it unless you are a manufacturer or you apply to the ATF for a serial number and they provide you with one.
And regarding NICS checks, they are done by a dealer regardless of if there is a serial number or not. It is if any firearm is sold. And the serial number is not communicated to the NICS at any time of the process.
