06 FFL finally

[rustydog]

Look what finally came in the mail this week!

I applied around December, had the interview in February. So a little more than four months start to finish.

Congratulations. Good luck with your reloading business.

[What Just Happened?]

Congrats. When you start reloading let us know, maybe we can be business for you.

Congrats. I'm expecting to go down that road in the coming years.

For Brando, it was pretty easy. They need to see that you have a business license and that it is legal where you live.


I didn't get it for reloading, although seeing all the people on the board wanting to get someone to do it, I have been tempted. I'm worried about the laws and liability.

Here is one of the reasons that I had to do it.


I didn't realize it initially. Even if the ammo is inert, if you manufacture the bullet or the brass for sale, you need an FFL as per the gun control act of 68.

Can you elaborate on this? Are you talking about commercial manufacturing?

With all the people at CG.net that cast lead bullets and sites like Corbin (for making Jacketed bullets), I was under the impression you could make your own.

As an aside, that's an interesting bullet design you've got there.

Someone I care dearly about allegedly made some bullets like that (though not nearly as good looking) using copper jackets, #8 shot and epoxy. Plays hell on a pumpkin out of a .357 Mag.

Sorry, yes manufacture for sale.

I thought as long as it wasn't loaded, it wasn't manufacturing ammunition.
