    Gunsmith - triggering event or not?

    I am unable to determine from reading the rules whether having gunsmith work done means I need to roll the dice of registering my arms.

    Can anyone shed light on this please?

    Technically when you receive your own firearm back from the gunsmith you will have 30 days from then to register evrertthing. Recieving a firearm from a company or an individual is an activating incident. In practice, I am sure any proper gunsmith who has your firearms will put it on their dealer license after 30 days, so you will have to have it registered for him to do that anyway.

    So upshot is, no you dont - unless the gunsmith has it for more than 30 days,
    and, Yes you will, in order to get it back from the gunsmith anyway. (Technically, according to the FSA website. In practice, they would never know unless you told them.)

    That seems odd, as the firearm was held at the gunsmith on behalf of the owner - the ownership never transferred to them.

    Edit. Reading the legislation, if the arm is with the gunsmith for longer than 30 days it will need to be registered with them, and transferred back to you on return - which is an activating event.

    Less than 30 days, no issue.
