Im collaborating with a business partner about making parts for 1911s. I have all the resources and financial backing in making a successful business. But im not familiar with the legal aspect of the industry in manufacturing parts for the masses. Furthermore, I'am not a gunsmith nor an armorer. I would be making simple parts from slide stops, to beavertails machined from the highest quality bar stock.

Just out of curiosity, why would you need to see the product? I just need to know what legal issues I would run into when manufacturing.Comment

Now if you send me an extended black slide stop for my kimber I'll be happy to spend a day or two researching stuff for you.Comment

You're going to need certain licenses to build the serialized part of the firearm or to assemble firearms for customers. Just machining the non-serialized parts for sale without assembly should give you no issues.

Big question is are you making the serialized part of the firearm, or just all the other parts? Also are you providing any assembly services, or just making the parts for sale as individual parts for the customer to assemble?

Good luck with your business!
I'm no California gun law guru but as long as you're building slide stops/beavertails/mag releases I can't think of anything off hand you should have to worry about.Comment

As far as the parts you are proposing I think you're fine...
But...Good question...Would machining K-baffels in and of themselves be illegal eventhough they are the intigral part of a supressor?...even if it can be used in another sound supressing application outside of firearms?..lets say power tools, leaf blowers, motorcycle mufflers?
Just stay away from machining any part that can turn a semi-auto into a fully auto.Comment

OK, back to the real question, I would assume that parts are parts and, as long as you don't manufacture receivers or take in receivers to have parts fitted, you should not need a FFL. On the other hand, you might want to look into getting a 07 FFL just for the benefits that can come with it. You might also want to contact a good firearms attorney or two just to see what types of liability your bussiness could be subject to, etc.NRA Certified Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun and Metallic Cartridge Reloading Instructor

You mean like rubber bands and shoestrings?

These are OK:
