Okay, had to come to those far more knowledgable than me.
A gentleman in another state is wanting to have me finish some pistols for him. I told him that I'd be glad to do it, but that the transfer fees and shipping costs might be prohibitive. He said that he had talked to the ATF, and they told him that there would not have to be any FFL transfers due to the fact that it would be a refinish/gunsmith type work.
If true, that would be very good news for me. I haven't done any out of state jobs because I thought I would have to use an FFL for transfers. So what is the truth? Can he just overnight the handguns to me, and then when I'm finished, do the same back to him? Are the laws the same for rifles and shotguns as they are for handguns?
