This has all been very enlightening. looks like my hobby will stay a hobby. I will stick with working on my own guns.

I do have a question. If BATF considers the receiver the firearm, can you just do barrels and not have any of the other parts in your shop?

Sadly this discourages new people in the trade, making it die with the old timers.
