You can do your OWN gunsmithing without a license as much as you want... Just don't retain someone else's firearm overnight and I think you're OK... (While You Wait Gunsmithing??? Hmmmm)

I recently obtained the FFL 03. It's paperwork, background check and a $30 fee-- and the wait... the wait is tough... all the C&R jewels will gleam during the wait. Actually, my license was issued in about a month, but it got burned in a mail fire (the BATF told me) so I had to wait for it to be reissued...

You get a healthy "dealer discount" at Brownells and a lot of other places too- which alone is worth the sweat for the serious enthusiast...

Now, I'm on the hunt for a Pre-War Model 70 Winchester .375 H&H... And Mausers... OH And Springfields...
