Re: Who does firearms finishing (Duracoat etc)

Someone that keep's customer's firearmss overnight needs an FFL from my understanding.
To have your weapon worked on you can mail it directly to the smith/finisher and they can mail it directly back to you (no FFL transfer stuff happens, since there's no transfer). </div></div>
A person has to be a registered FFL to receive firearms in the mail, it does not matter if it stays overnight, if it goes from state to state, the smith or painter has to have a ffl, the owner does not have to have one, since the firearm is already registered to his/her name. For example, if I want to have a firearm painted in my state, all I have to do is drive it over, I can NOT ship it to a non FFL holder even if they are in my state.
Hope this clarify's things.
