Hello all,
I am hoping to get some info from the knowledgable folks here. I am merely planning on working by word of mouth as a small side business possibly with 5-10 projects a year. Basically the type of business I am looking at is made to order projects such as building an AR type rifle with pre-manufactured parts, or similar type projects with bolt action rifles as well as such custom jobs as hydro dip and other camo style jobs. That would be about it. Maybe some PPT transfers but that is doubtful unless of course someone asks me to, I wouldnt advertise it.
Please correct me if I am wrong but I would need a type 07 FFL (can 07 FFLs even do transfers?)? Does this type of work constitute assembly or manufacture and am I going to get hit with some crazy fee I need to pay yearly to CA DOJ which will just not make it worth my while. I heard a horror story from a local FFL that him assembling an AR makes him a manufacturer and CA DOJ charges local FFLs $6000 yearly for their manufacturer cert to try to stop the production of AR's, sounded a little FUDish to me.
I am also looking into my local county laws at the moment but seeing I am in Riverside County I have so far found out that I can work out of my house and dont need a store front. I appreciate any assistance in this matter as the information seems very confusing on what FFL type to get and what it entails as well as once I accomplish all of that will CA DOJ just put the kibash on me after the fact anyhow.
