Where can I find the laws for being a firearm manufacturer? Ive googled it but came up with nothing. Can you have another company produce parts for you? Or do you have to machine and produce all the parts yourself? |
| If you're talking about an AR you can buy all the parts save one - the lower receiver. That you can buy completed to 80% - do a Google seach for 80% AR Receivers and you'll find plenty of information. You can't make a weapon you can't own. I've made four 80% receivers now including two .50 BMG ones. |
you can farm out everything but the final 20% of the work on the receiver or frame, at least thats what I've gleaned from the ATF website while doing research for a business class project |
Can't remember. I know when I was working at Barrett, when the renewal came in, it was talked about how much of a hit it was. |
Ya I figured that it would cost alot. But is that 10k just to play nice with the ATF and get permission from them to be a manufacturer? Sort of like the $200 tax stamp for class IIIs? |
