| Got some questions about selling ARs. I'm pretty new to this forum. Sorry if I'm a little ignorant. My original intent was to assemble ARs from parts and sell 'em. Well now that I have researched a little, I see that classifies you as a manufacturer. I want to avoid being a "manufacturer." How much of the rifle do I need to buy pre-assembled? Can I buy a assembled lower and assemble the rest? I tried finding this information amongst the 243 pages of gun laws on the ATF's web page. All I found was a huge pounding in my head after trying to understand that garbage. Thanks for any info you can provide. |

I believe buying the lower and upper separate, then putting them together is defined as manufacturing under the BATF. To manufacture you would need an 07 license. Go to the FFL forum under the ARMORY tab, Bubbles will know, as well as several others. http://www.ar15.com/forums/f_6/44_FFL_Discussions.html |

I seem to remember that operations as simple as buying a gun from a supplier and changing the sights before sale is considered manufacturing. The same work done on a customer's gun is OK though. |
