tstuart34:
Any 07 FFL holders willing to answer a few questions? I am trying to get my ducks in a row and need to decided 01 and 07. Shoot me a PM if your interested in a Q and A.

Tim McBride:
I held an 07ffl/02sot for many years, what do you plan to do?

tstuart34:
Thanks for replying Tim. I guess my biggest question is about ITAR... For sake of conversation stick to ar15s. A gunsmith operating with a 01 can preform work on a customers firearms, He can assemble and refinish the persons AR and so forth. Under a 07 I could assemble parts make a complete rifle refinish complete rifles in inventor and sell along with working on customers weapons. By far the 07 is the better way to go but ITAR requires you to pay $2000ish... Did you just pay the State department? Did you ever try and get exempt?

Tim McBride:
Good old ITAR.... I know plenty who do not pay it. ATF does not enforce it....yet. When I had mine I didn't pay ITAR, but honestly without an exception from them I was more than likely in the wrong.
An 07 let's you do a lot more than any other FFL, but does place additional burdens on you for zoning and things like the aforementioned ITAR. I had an 07 because I wanted an 02, I did a lot of business building SBR/SBS's and custom AOWs. I also had a decent side business building and selling Post Samples to other dealers.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts. From all my research in the past couple of weeks I have read that some pay most don't. The ATF says you have to register but that is as far as it goes. I would love to have a 07/02 but I do not have the machinery to start anything like that and I am not in a position to start a big capital venture like that.

We want to focus on Cerakote Coatings, Kydex holsters, and some sales. We will sell AR stripped lowers/uppers, parts kits and gunsmithing packages all separate to avoid the manufacturing issue. A 07 would make things much simpler but we want to make sure that we are doing this as correct as possible. Though it would be more money and paperwork we can always resubmit for the 07.
