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.


You can do all the barrels you want, as long as they are not attached to the receiver and the receiver is not in your possession.
