Ok i have a question. What kind of license would you need to manufacture firearms? Im specifically thinking making AR lowers.

I believe that would be a Class 07 Manufacturer's FFL.

I can't find the list at the moment, but I know a 01 is a dealer and a 03 is a C&R. I think a 02 is a pawnbroker, and I'm not sure about 04, 05, and 06, though I think they are importers. There are also license types for manufacturers and dealers in Dangerous Devices/Explosives, which if memory serves, run like $3K/3yr.

Hope that helps!

Blessings,
B

That does help. Im still doing research and just have a hard time finding the legal stuff that you have to go through for manufacturing.

No, the type 07 license is what allows you to do it as a business. The Form 1 is what makes each particular firearm (or receiver) legal.
