A fella I know has moved to an area near Bakersfield Ca. in a community of fairly well to do folks . Kind of an area where the guys wanted out of the L.A. area to be in a place where there was some room ( every property is 20 acres +- ) but momma wanted to still be near the kids and grandkids . Now this old boy was a tooling engineer for about a million years so he is fairly knowledgable around machine shop equipment . He knows quite a bit about guns and plans to learn more before starting to do some repairs and perhaps minor modifications .
Now as a caveat before we start I want to let us assume that he will be good at what he does so there is no misunderstanding as to his abilities . The main question is as follows . If he fixes weapons for his neighbors and never mails or receives weapons does he need a FFL? How about for parts mailed to or by him ?
He is fixin' to put a Bridgeport Mill as well as a lathe and some other goodies in his garage . He is good on a machine since he still does tooling work . Jigs , fixtures and the like and I see him do it . I have no doubt as to his skill but wonder what papers he will need . Thank you .
