who needs an FFL?

In NY, at a minimum a gunsmith license. How else would you be able to lawfully assume possession of someone else's handgun?
I would still recommend a gunsmith license. The sucky thing is, gun smith licenses require a complete renewal every 2 or 3 years just like a pistol license. I let mine expire after about 3 cycles of sillyness.
If you are touching handguns, at a minimum, a gun smith license, and the guns must be delivered /brought to you, and be picked up from you.
If you are touching long guns, I honestly don't know.
Good luck either way, and let me know if you make any headway. We need every gun maker/fixer/seller/tinkerer we can get in this state.

Thanks fgc.
I've been tinkering with this idea for a while now. I've been refinishing friends & family long guns on & off for a long time and have become damn good at it if I don't say so myself. I've turned things deserving of the scrap pile into something to be passed down once again. Don't mind staying away from pistols.
Well guess there's a few phone calls I have to make.

Aren't they raising the FFL to something like $2,000 a year for gunsmiths?

I am fairly sure to get a gun Smith license in New York you must first have an FFL
Due to the on safe act, you will need some kind of a license to possess someone else's firearm just to cover your ass. Because it could be construed as a transfer by New York State.
Bottom line is that New York state requires you to be licensed to be a gunsmith or to sell firearms This is over and above the federal license. So essentially you need to in New York. The federal and state license

BulletGuy,
I honestly don't know what changes have transpired in the law in the 2-4 years since I relinquished my gunsmith license. Back then (7 yrs ago, and then the renewals 5 yrs and 3 yrs ago) you did not need a FFL. I got my gunsmith license from Albany, but applied thru my county.
I may be completely off base (I usually am, it's a Monday
) but I think I needed also a pistol permit to get the gun smith license.

If you blue on behalf of customers for guns already owned by individuals, you need a Type 01 gunsmith FFL.
If you blue guns you own and are engaged in business, or do so on behalf on manufacturers as a sub, you need a 07 manufacturer FFL.
All explained here in this letter: https://www.atf.gov/file/82791/download
Any needed New York State gunsmith license is in addition to the above requirements.
