In another thread I understood somebody to say: "If you have a FFL you can legally do gunsmithing work even if you don't know how".
First question: Did I understand this correctly?
Second question: Does this mean that being an FFL holder is a requirement for doing gunsmith work?
Third question: What is the legal line in the sand between "working on a firearm" and "building one"? To use a crude analogy: In Texas you can build a trailer and get it titled through a paperwork process. Is there a similar process for building a firearm, stamping a serial number on it, and registering it?
If so, can anybody do it? Or do you have to be a gunsmith to do it?
All of this is academic and intended to satisfy my curiosity. I haven't the skill to build a firearm and have no plans to do so. I'm just wondering about how the regulatory framework for doing so.
Thanks,
Vernon
