Hey guys-
I'm not looking to get into serious gunsmithing, but more along the lines of refinishing, doing small repairs and parts installs.
I want to be legal with the BATFE.
I understand if I get an online certificate and were to attempt to get a job as a GS, I'd most likely be laughed out of the shop. There is no substitute for a flesh and blood teacher, I understand.
I do not wish to partake in general gun smithing. No crowning barrels, no stoning triggers, no bolt accurizing, etc, etc, etc.
I'm looking at it in terms of legalities and know my own limits. Somethings I can't do. Others I can.
Mainly, coating weapons and Saiga conversions are my areas of focus. In order to hold onto a weapon for 24 hours, I need to be a "licensed" smith or hold an FFL?
