Dropping off is easy, it's picking up that's the trick.

Uh ya. Got that part.

There's no BGC performed upon pickup if it's the same person who dropped it off.

Unless OR has been different for some time, then you're probably McFuct.

I already looked into this. All stays the same, come
over drop off project. Magic happens and then you get a call and come pick up your project.
Same paperwork process.

Transfers of course will be handled differently of course.

Oh? I thought that the gunsmith had to put the firearm in their books if it stays overnight? But no transfer paperwork is required on pickup?

Yes it gets put in the book, and no transfer paperwork is required upon pick up.

I actually looked into this since i have a rifle in the works. Theres actually an exception in the new law for gunsmithing, repairs etc.

Business as usual.

Gunsmiths keep two log books. One is the standard acquisition and disposition log that all dealers have. If a gun goes in that book, it has to have a background check to be retrieved. If something were traded to, sold to, or put on consignment to a dealer, this is the book the gun would go in. Same if you use a gunsmith to do a transfer.
For a repair job, the gun goes in the other log, the repair log. If it goes in this book, so long as the same person is picking the gun up, no bgc is required to pick it up.
Sound about right @Velzey?

Q: Does a repair log get turned into the ATF when the FFL surrender's their license?

 

[MountainBear]

Honestly, I cannot remember what I had to turn in when I gave up my license…
It's been quite a while.

But likely yes, it was probably sent in as well.
