Polish work

[Ken Ford]

I have been doing Polishing work to feed ramps and chamfers. I have been getting rave reviews and I think I am ready to open it to the public and forum members. What I don't know is there any legal regulation that I need to know about. I should not need to keep the weapon more than a few hours, most of the time I will only need the barells.

Any Thoughts?

you might be able to do just the barrels but you must have a ffl to do gun smithing for anybody but your self.....

+1, If you are doing only Barrels and don't have the receiver you are fine, but if you are taking in the frames you will need an FFL.

I have been doing repairs for friends (without charging money) for 40+ years; Have I been breaking the law?

If you are not receiving any type of compensation and your volume is "limited" (Limited is the ATFs word, but they don't define what the limit is, typical) then you do not need an FFL, but if you receive compensation, either money or in kind, then you are required to have one.

Its also illegal to give away vegetables if you have a garden, or milk if you own a cow , or take your neighbor food if they are sick if you don't have a license from the health dept.
But Ken, you being a police officer, it shouldn't be hard for you to get an FFL ? I say get the license then do all the polish gun work you want.
