I mean sure you can forge the stamp, but the stamp is basically a proof of purchase for your “I don’t have to go to jail over this item” - it’s the associated paperwork and registration of said stamp that matters.
Could it fool a cop or nosy rangemaster? Sure. Will it pass any actual scrutiny when the ATF tries to authenticate? Lol nope.
You show your tax stamp to range safety dudes? Lmfao
If an old Boomer RSO approached me asking to see my tax stamp when I’m shooting my suppressed gun, I would tell them to fuck off because they aren’t an authority to enforce the law; they’re not the ATF, they’re not the FBI, otherwise I could ask to see their social security card. Because they are simply gun safety babysitters, and regular fucking dudes with no real authority other than being allowed by the business owner to ask you to leave.
Me having a tax stamp is literally none of their fucking business.

If they ask? Yes. Because I didn’t go to the range for a dick measuring contest with someone who can eject me for whatever reason they desire. Never gotten heat over a brace or P&W job, but I’m also not trying to catch a trespass charge over ‘muh rights’ argument with a rangemaster.
They do have a valid interest in not being involved in a federal firearms crime on their property. I’ll respect that, and their dumb rapid fire/holstering/etc blanket rules. Sounds like you’re the kind of person those blanket rules were made for.
I have a large enough property that I haven’t shot at a privately owned range in decades, so having a rando come and ask me for my personal tax documents is kinda weird.
I would like to know more.

No, but they can remove you from the range…
