Let us say man is doing gunstock refinishing or rechequering of lazer cut factory stoks. He is not your brother inlaw. He does this work for money. he lives in another state. It is not the loan of firearm in normal sense of the word.Reading all the replies here I conclude he must have a Ffl for gunsmithing type of work otherwsie the customer and man doing the work are in violation of the law .Correct?

Why do you bundle "refinishing and recheckering" together with "gunsmithing?" I finish and checker gunstocks for others. It is
wood work; whether the wood is a gunstock or an axe handle is immaterial. If the action does not change hands, there is no "gun" involved, therefore it is not "gunsmithing type of work." If there is no gun involved (as there must be for a restocking), an FFL is not needed. You indicated in your first post that you knew that, but here again you preface your post by saying the man is refinishing and recheckering....no mention of gunsmithing. What exactly is it you want to have the man do?
