| Do you need an FFL license to sell non serialized gun parts online? Like triggers or springs? |

Types of Federal Firearms Licenses: Type 01 - Dealer in Firearms Other Than Destructive Devices Type 02 - Pawnbroker in Firearms Other Than Destructive Devices Type 03 - Collector of Curios and Relics Type 06 - Manufacturer of Ammunition for Firearms Other Than Ammunition for Destructive Devices or Armor Piercing Ammunition Type 07 - Manufacturer of Firearms Other Than Destructive Devices Type 08 - Importer of Firearms Other Than Destructive Devices or Ammunition for Firearms Other Than Destructive Devices, or Ammunition Other Than Armor Piercing Ammunition Type 09 - Dealer in Destructive Devices Type 10 - Manufacturer of Destructive Devices, Ammunition for Destructive Devices or Armor Piercing Ammunition Type 11 - Importer of Destructive Devices, Ammunition for Destructive Devices or Armor Piercing Ammunition from https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/fact-sheet/fact-sheet-federal-firearms-and-explosives-licenses-types Type 01 and 02 are run of the mill gun shops and pawn shops 03 are collectors, not dealers 06 is ammunition manufacturer (no fed license required for ammo sales) 07 are cool gun shops 08 are collectors who are also dealers 09 are super cool gun shops 10 and 11 are Battlefield Las Vegas and other places that are super cool I'm vaguely curious as to what 04 and 05 were, but not enough to go chase it down. Hopefully we'll get a history lesson from someone else around here. |
In the long term, tax stamps and prostitutes are cheaper.

I was going to start a new thread, but my question is somewhat similar so slight resurrect here, apologies. I'm 18 years into my state gov job, can retire at 25. May or may not retire depending on conditions at the time. I have come to the decision that I would like my "2nd" or "retirement" career to be as a gunsmith/tabletop FFL, possibly build custom 10/22s or ARs. The way things are with work, I may not get to actually take some gunsmithing courses for a while, if it all, before I actually retire, and taking courses will be a feat unto itself as my only options currently are online or correspondence, no real schools near me. My question is: For the interim, before I get my FFL, can I run a business where I do small, simple repairs, customizations, parts swaps, scopes mounting and sighting in, etc? Would taking temporary possession of the firearms to do the work mean I need an FFL? I have certain other hoops to jump through at the state level to get licensed as a gunsmith, but I'm more interested in learning the federal requirements at this point. Thanks! |

Just start an LLC and pay taxes through there. You can sell serialized items as long as they are not firearms. Like Glock BBLs, uppers, etc. |

If the firearm is left overnight then it gets logged into the A&D book. If it's in and out the same day then no A&D entry is needed. |
