Thread: Gunsmith - triggering event or not?

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.)
