    Shipping rifle to custom ammo maker and back?

    Can I sent a gun (I own) to a custom ammo maker for developing a load, and have them ship it directly back without having to go through an ffl and re-DROS the thing?

    as long as that custom ammo maker is an FFL, and the rifle in question isn't an AW, then you can send it to him and have it returned without having to deal iwth a local FFL and DROS.

    Do you want an AOW or C&R SBS/SBR in CA?

      What if they have it for more than 30 days ?
      "Look at the tyranny of party -- at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty -- a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes -- and which turns voters into chattles, slaves, rabbits, and all the while their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction....."

        It should fall under 12078(e), which does not have a time limit.

        12078(e) Section 12071, subdivisions (c) and (d) of Section 12072, and subdivision (b) of Section 12801 shall not apply to the delivery of a firearm to a gunsmith for service or repair, or to the return of the firearm to its owner by the gunsmith.

          Jack,

          Off the top of your head do you know where a "gunsmith" is defined as having to have an FFL?

            The 1968 Gun Control Act defines "dealer" as somebody engaged in the business of repairing firearms.

            (B) any person engaged in the business of repairing firearms or of making or fitting special barrels, stocks, or trigger mechanisms to firearms, or

            (C) any person who is a pawnbroker. The term "licensed dealer" means any dealer who is licensed under the provisions of this chapter.
            It then goes on to require all "dealers" to have an FFL...

                So there are no NEW laws that would prohibit me from shipping rifle directly to a gunsmith and no issue with them sending back directly to me without having to go through an ffl?

                Sure sounds like that is the consensus.
