Considering some work on the side- need help...

You would have to get a type 07 FFL (manufacturer), keep it current each year, and pay the Dept of State the $2500 ITAR registration every year. You will need to incorporate in some way, LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp.

You should also be looking in to some hefty insurance policies. Both liability and E&O. If you assemble it, and something happens you can bet on getting sued.

You should also check the HOA out wherever you are looking at houses. If they disallow operating a business at your house, you aren't allowed to get an FFL to a business addressed there.

Thanks for that J... I have looked into the operating a business out of the house- a little more for our homeowners ins, but we can roll in a BOP as well... and seeing as how I work in insurance currently I do know all about liab and E&O being mandatory. So I would need a manufacturer's FFL... that's one of the things I was wondering. So as far as the FFL side goes, you pretty much answered every question I had! Thanks! And searching around, I have found some no-logo lowers, but what is the legality (such as from Mckay) on stamping my own logo on it and selling it as a "XXXXXX Custom Rifleworks" weapon? <Aside from the FFL part, which J covered.
