FFL Question

[BigTex.308]

Yeah once the cashed my check it was 3-4 weeks before I was contacted. The agent came out a few days later for the interview/ inspection. Took another 2 weeks before getting the actual license.

ATF just called to set up a time to come meet me.

Wed at 2pm!

Excited!

Been turning away a TON of business because I don't have that dang thing.

Sounds like I need to look into getting an FFL.

I believe I would be asking the controlling authority, which would be BATFE.

good news. Have your paperwork (sales tax permit, fed ein number, dba or llc paperwork) ready when they get there. They will want to see it to confirm you are running a legitimate business.

I just got an email reply from a hydro dip company that said the ATF isn't requiring them to have an FFL to dip firearms. I guess they changed it up again. I will be curious to see what they tell you.

Interesting, not sure what info they got but if you take certain parts of a firearm and "modify" it, you do need an FFL.

Will learn more tomorrow.

ATF agent told me to have exactly what you said, ready to go!

so, meeting with ATF agent went well. Alot of information to gather all at once but I took alot of notes and he gave me some useful info papers to help out.

So, from the horses mouth. Like some have said. I can currently without an FFL do a stock or a slide right now with no issue. Where the issue comes up. The frame, the lower or receiver, a complete long gun (rifle). What I am considered doing, IS gunsmithing on those parts mentioned and it must be logged.

Should receive my license in 4 weeks!

They better be careful... see above post.

I want to see that email. I've wanted to start cerakoting, but don't want to deal with getting an FFL.

I think you can google FFL holders in your zip code, at least I know you can from a site like Gunbroker, if you don't have one.
Good luck
