[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Gunsmith license - tips?

Posted: 8/30/2007 2:18:31 PM EDT

I have people on occasion that need a spot welded up on a receiver or they need an extension welded onto a barrel...but the barrel is still attached to the receiver. They can't send the combo to me due to me not being licensed in any way such as FFL or Gunsmith.

Would a Gunsmith license be the route to go?

Searched around Google for a while but didn't find the fee structure or license process or what part the State of Texas would play in this. Can anyone suggest where to look?

thanks a bunch,

You need an FFL to accept the receiver. There is a certain FFL type for gunsmiths. I don;t think there is anything that the State of Texas would be involved in other than you paying them your taxes.

you know,
if you buy the gun from them and do the work yourself you can sell it back at a later date.
you can also do the work for free.

but since you want to get paid you will need to talk to the ATF.

There is no "gunsmith" license/FFL anymore. You would need the standard type 01 FFL.

i thought they exempted persons that work on less than 60 guns per year from needing a license?

I know the steps to get the FFL, but what about keeping it? I heard that its common to have it revoked at the first renew... Any thoughts?

I have not herd that one. I have had my type 07 FFL (Manufacturer) license for about 3.5 years and have never regreated it.

You have a valid reason to request a FFL - you intend to actively engage in gunsmithing. That said, I would suggest getting your FFL. IM me if you want to ask any specific questions.
